Crushed Wings

Directed by Lalit Bhusal, Crushed Wings showcases a powerful tale of fighting against the odds and against culture to do what is right. Taking inspiration from millions of women around the world forced to undergo FGM, Crushed Wings develops a protagonist forced to undergo the same procedure, only to empower her to chart a dangerous journey in a deeply patriarchal society to save her two sisters from the same fate that beset her.

Doing double duty as both writer and director, Bhusal weaves a complex yet intimate portrayal of a sensitive issue. Using a moving script and powerful yet nuanced performances, Bhusal puts the audience right into the protagonist's shoes, making a bold and daring statement about a practice that the world has been so far unable to eradicate.

Moving and poignant, Lalit Bhusal's feature about the horrific practice successfully holds up the mirror to society, moving its audiences everywhere to redouble their efforts to bring an end to FGM. Anchored by terrific performances and an emotional story at its core, Crushed Wings will definitely breathe a new life into the movement to end FGM and is bound to make much deserved waves at upcoming festival screenings.

This movie is a masterpiece, it is a great intense emotional movie. The direction was great, the actor acted really well. This movie will literally make you think about the patriarchal society and their norm's.

Its a story of a girl and how she has gone through orthodox issue FGM. Good acting form each and every actors. Film raises a genuine issue of society . No one comes forward to raise this type of issue through cinema. Grand salute to all the actors and director of this movie for raising such a concerning issue to public. Government officials should have to watch this movie and promote it to official level. Screenplay and editing is top notch. Many of us are not aware of this FGM orthodox , its a must watch to atleast know about such issues so that we can prevent it in society . This film shows the situation of girls who go through such phases .I will recommend to watch and share this to other. Very rare subject and it must have to reach everyone .

The only fault of the poor Ria is that she grew up and lived her childhood in a society that adopts wrong beliefs with no relationship with the religion that's based on mercy and softness and prohibits and bans everything that could harm a person.

As I live in a conservative society and may adopts some false beliefs, even if it will lead to harmful, i found this film unveiled a deep and a classic phenomenon on our arabic society such as the female genital mutilation and forced marriage.

It's a great film that I advise the arab society to which I belong to watch it, as it addresses a social dilemma that must one day end.

Beautiful Film, I believe the Topic, FGM has been Interpreted quite Sensitively by the Director and the whole team. Oznur has done a great job, being the main lead and so have the others. Simplicity, Speaks Volumes, Whilst Conveying a Important Social Message.
