According to the tradition of the Masai tribe in Kenya, Sabina has to be circumcised when she turns 12 years-old. Despite its gruesome nature, festivities surround female circumcision, which shadow the pain and health risks associated with this practice. This documentary follows Sabina in her fight to end such a dangerous and life-threatening practice.
