The Cruel Cut

The Cruel Cut

The Cruel cut is about female genital mutilation across countries in Africa to young females to keep virginity until marriage.The documentary is very effective as you hear the experiences of females who were given the cruel cut and the effects it had on them even to this day.You see their emotions as they speak about their back stories during their young childhood when they given the painful experience of genital mutilation.

They use techniques such as focusing on the females in the video and using images to explain the physical pain of the genital mutilation and they effects its caused on the women in their lives.With this it makes the audience empathize with the women in the video making the video very effective as it brings awareness to viewers.You see the young females emotions as they explain their horrific experiences and the sadness and pain it has caused them in their lives and it strikes the viewer because many people would want to put at stop to this as it is still going on to this day.

Personally I never knew of female genital mutilation but this documentary has helped me understand how serious it is in some parts of the world and why it should not happen as the pain and blood loss it brings to a lot of young females.From watching the documentary I would definitely want an end of genital mutilation towards females as I now know how much pain they go through because of this.From watching the documentary I was very alerted by the graphic explanations and imagery of how it is done and the effects it has.Also knowing that is only simply done to preserve virginity for marriage  disturbed me but at the same time made me aware that this happens around the world.I think that female genital mutilation should be stopped all around the world.
