Fekekr Asheme has had a very challenging life. At 7 she ran away from a family who did not live her ending up on the streets of the nearby city of Bahir Dar in Ethiopia. By 8 she was working in a brothel. Today, aged 19, she has found a way out of prostitution and is trying to rebuild her life. My Name Is Feker retells Feker’s story but by following the lives of 3 girls who are living out the life she once led today. Bleak, beautiful and ultimately uplifting the film is an evocative reminder not just about the enduring nature of the human spirit but also about how seemingly chance meetings can have life changing consequences. |
