| | Movie Haiku: | BioPic about Waris Dirie. Born in rural Somalia & sold into virtual slavery as a adolescent, Dirie became a world famous model & is now a UN spokeswoman fighting female circumcision. Omar-Scego is lovely as young Waris, & Kebede is luminous as adult Waris. Committed cast keeps the tone appropriately upbeat: despite such great odds, Dirie is one of life''s true winners! |
