Summary:

"Shout Gladi Gladi profiles the heroic efforts to rescue African women and girls from obstetric fistula, a medical condition that can turn them into reviled outcasts. About 2 million women and girls in Africa and parts of Asia are living with the condition, with 50-100,000 new cases each year. Those that survive are incontinent and shunned from normal life in their villages. Filmed in Kenya, Malawi and Sierra Leone, Shout Gladi Gladi spotlights the quest of Ann Gloag, a former nurse, who drives a movement to save these vulnerable women from this preventable and treatable condition, and presents the women's stirring stuggles."--Container.
