A Pinch of skin (2012) – Movie Details, Cast, Review & Songs

A Pinch of Skin is about the practice of Female Genital Mutilation. A film on betrayal of innocent girls, perpetuated by a deep- seated social more. How medieval cruelty invades modern, educated homes, even today. Eschewing concerns of human rights; the practice exists in the name of faith and tradition to 'curb/check' female sexuality. The documentary juxtaposes both -the voice of the community, which views this as tradition; as well as the small voice of questioning dissent considering this as sexual politics. Unfortunately, the most effected from this practice is unconsenting, pre adolescent girls, who neither have the understanding, nor have any say over the norm.
