Over 90 million girls worldwide have “disappeared” for one simple fact: they were born girls instead of boys.
A new, riveting short film, Half of Her, directed by the enormously talented Paola Mendoza (Entre Nos, Autumn’s Eyes), tells the emotional story of an unbearable choice one mother must make about her newborn daughter. Starring the brilliant newcomer, Wei-Yi Lin, this film will tear at your emotions to a point of near combustion and ultimate heartache.
