Summary:

In their own words, girls in Kimana, Kenya tell incredible stories after being rescued from FGM and child marriage and share their future hopes and desires. The point of view of the Parits, who boldly go against tradition to rescue the girls, and commentary from local activists drive the story. The film highlights the community's extraordinary passion and commitment to improving the lives of otherwise forgotten girls in their overlooked remote community. Taken to the safety of Hope Beyond Transitional Center, the girls find safe refuge, recover, and receive a quality education. However, as many have never been to school before their rescue, they must first acquire basic learning and essential life skills. While The Price of Hope reveals the dangerous practices of female genital mutilation and child marriage, it gives a voice to the rescued girls. It emboldens them to inspire and encourage others in their community and beyond.
