Our efforts to end the needless suffering of women and girls afflicted by fistula continue with the award winning feature-length documentary, A Walk to Beautiful. Produced by Engel Entertainment A Walk to Beautiful tells the stories of five Ethiopian women who suffer from devastating childbirth injuries and embark on a journey to reclaim their lost dignity. Rejected by their husbands and ostracized by their communities, these women are left to spend the rest of their lives in loneliness and shame. They make the choice to take the long and arduous journey to the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in search of a cure and a new life.

Through the intimate experiences all five share, we are no longer in the heart of Africa- we are in the hearts of these women. And through their eyes we also reveal a larger story, that of the seemingly intractable problems facing women in the developing world, including malnutrition, child marriage, and lack of obstetric care.

The trials they endure-and their attempts to rebuild their lives-tell a universal story of hope, courage, and transformation.

Engel Entertainment, along with The Fistula Foundation, is committed to promoting change using the film.

The Fistula Foundation is accepting gifts to be used toward A Walk to Beautiful. The Fistula Foundation and Engel Entertainment are working in partnership to raise awareness of Dr. Catherine Hamlin's work with her team at the Fistula Hospital.

In addition, 100% of profits from A Walk to Beautiful will be donated to The Fistula Foundation.
