As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming, the Reference Public Library will present Koromousso: Big Sister, an invitation from The Business, Science and Technology Department for their monthly Friday Night Film Screening Series.

Koromousso: Big Sister | Filmmakers: Habibata Ouarme and Jim Donovan | 2023 | 75 min

With candor, humour and courage, a group of African-Canadian women challenge cultural taboos surrounding female sexuality and fight to take back ownership of their bodies. Combining her own journey with personal accounts from some of her radiant, endearing friends, co-director Habibata Ouarme explores the phenomenon of female genital mutilation and the road to individual and collective healing, both in Africa and in Canada.
