A bright 14-year-old girl kills a man after being kidnapped for forced marriage. She is arrested for murder, and the elders of her Ethiopian village want her executed.

A tenacious young lawyer arrives from the city to represent her, arguing that it was self-defense. She boldly embarks on a collision course between the civil justice system and customary law, risking the ongoing work of her women’s legal-aid practice to save the girl’s life.

Based on a real-life story, and Executive Produced by Angelina Jolie.
