When a Cockney shopgirl befriends a beautiful Somali refugee in an upscale dress shop’s loo, neither is prepared for what lies ahead.
The taboo subject of female circumcision (otherwise known as female genital mutilation or cutting) is artfully revealed in “Desert Flower,” written and directed by Sherry Horman (“Guys and Balls”). Fgm is a far-reaching, ancient rite of passage that is believed to protect virginity and elevate very young girls to sainted womanhood. Though this seldom-discussed practice is condemned by the World Health Organization and the United Nations, it continues to this day in certain areas of Asia, Northeastern Africa, Australia and South America.
Horman’s movie is based upon the best-selling autobiography “Desert Flower” written by the now 46-year-old former fashion model and actress Waris Dirie...

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Contact me here (and be sure and include your city and state and/or country!)
Q: Do you have any guilty pleasures when it comes to gay movies? I like the good ones (to me anyway) like Ciao and Guys and Balls. But there are some I like where the dialogue is terrible and the acting is very questionable: Angora Ranch and An Angel Named Billy. So do you have any you are brave enough to admit to liking? — Ed, London, Ontario, Canada
A: Do I have any guilty pleasures?!
First, yes, there are a few micro-budgeted gay films where the acting and production values are questionable, but that are still worth watching. I’m willing to forgive a lot if I get some sense that the actors and producers believe in what they’re doing, if they created an unintentional comedy, or if there's full-frontal male nudity.
