“We call on the support of the general public to join our cause and get involved in the promotion of PUNCTURED HOPE in every way they can. It is through the common effort of all those who are against the slavery and genital mutilation of women and children that the abolishment of such ongoing practices can be achieved.

The film is a Canadian production of Adhara Properties and Toronto Pictures and it was shot in Ghana. The story is based on the biggest form of women slavery that exists today in the world.
