A Walk To Beautiful
The 2007 documentary, A Walk To Beautiful, follows three women's journey to a Fistula Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and their transformation from being considered social pariahs to them being included in the community. Obstetric Fistula is a preventable, yet severe, medical condition where tearing occurs between the rectum and the vagina, the bladder and the vagina, or both.
