In this female empowerment film, Ahmed (Aja Naomi King) escapes war-torn Somalia as a teenager. With the help of a human trafficker (Barkhad Abdi), she finds refuge in Ireland where she vows to devote her life to stopping the practice of female genital mutilation. With allies that include her friend Amala (Martha Canga Antonio), and Irish politicians Emer and Joe Costello (Orla Brady and Stanley Townsend), Ahmed embarks on a quest to bring her campaign to a global stage.<\/p>\n<p><em>A GIRL FROM MOGADISHU<\/em> is written and directed by Mary McGuckian (The Price of Desire, Intervention).

Martha Canga Antonio (Black) and Barkhad Abdi (Captain Phillips, Blade Runner 2049) also star with Somali icon Maryam Mursals. Irish cast include Pauline McLynn (Father Ted, Angela&#8217;s Ashes), Orla Brady (Fringe, Into the Badlands), and Stanley Townsend (The Libertine, Happy-Go-Lucky).<\/p>\n<p>Key crew include director of photography Michael Lavelle (Cardboard Gangsters), production designer Emma Pucci (RED 2), costume designer Nathalie Leborgne (Mr. Nobody).
