Dry

Dry is a powerful drama that delves into the challenging issues faced by women in Africa, particularly in rural areas. The movie follows the story of a young girl, Halima, who is forced into an early marriage and faces devastating consequences. Dr. Zara, a successful African doctor living in Wales, returns to Africa on a mission of mercy and encounters Halima's story, which resonates deeply with her own childhood experiences. As Zara works with suffering African women, she uncovers the ties that bind them together and the strength they find in each other's company. Through its portrayal of rape, child marriage, and obstetric fistula, Dry sheds light on the societal stigma surrounding these issues and the need for change. The film is both a poignant drama and an educational tool, raising awareness about the struggles faced by less privileged women in Africa during childbirth.
