The story of one girl who fought abduction, and the lawyers who saved her life
“Difret” means “to dare” or “courage” in the Amharic language of Ethiopia. A new film by that name tells the story of an Ethiopian girl who was kidnapped by men on horseback to enforce a “traditional” marriage. She fought back, and then had to defend her life in court. Now, thanks to Angelina Jolie, the world will see her story.
