True Life Tale from Ethiopia of a girl’s fight for justice
Set in 1996 near Addis Abeba, Ethiopia at the age of fourteen, Hirut gets abducted after school by a gang of horseman. She is taken away as is the custom to be married to her abductor. They beat and abuse her and she decides to escape, but in doing so she manages to kill the would be husband.

The ‘customs courts’ dictates that a life for a life should be the case but from the start this is not an ordinary case but the law seems to be blind to the mitigating circumstances. Measza is a pro bono lawyer working for an organisation that helps the vulnerable of society and she decides to take on the case; this is their story.

Now this is based on real events and was produced by Angelina Jolie. It is all very well acted, filmed, directed and has a pacing that means you will not get bored. The story as a resonance that comes with all stories of injustice and as such – some have found it to be ‘unoriginal’. However, I found this to be compelling and rewarding. It is in Amharic and sub titled in English with a run time of 99 minutes. I saw this described as ‘arthouse’ but I would place this firmly under the genre of drama and think this will appeal to lovers of World cinema and those who like a story told plain with all ambiguity forgotten – recommended.

A necessary story
This movie appeared on You Tube December 26 2020 and I started to watch. Not a moment did I turn my eyes or attention away from the screen. The depth of storytelling, the beauty of the landscape, the intensity of action, the cultural exploration and the outcome of this story all make it a solid 10. Very good editing, producing and cinematography. Viewers (especially women or men with daughters) will be immersed in this story and a movie that should be a discussion point for womens’ rights all over the world.
