(Kingston, New York, 1960) is of German origin. She graduated from the Academy of Film and Television in Munich and went on to work in both media. In 1991 she made Silent Shadow, for which she won Best Debut Director at the Bavarian Film Awards. Guys and Balls won her the Audience Award at the L.A. Outfest and Best Film at the International GLBT and Queer Culture Festival in Milan.
Waris Dirie’s autobiographical book Desert Flower is an incredible life journey. Never had I seen so many opposites existing side by side in a single human being: desert nomad child, top model in New York, illiterate cleaning woman at McDonalds, political speaker at the UN. Were the story not true, I would have thought I was reading a modern version of Cinderella. Most of all though, Desert Flower is a cry against the injustice suffered by women through female genital mutilation without making blind accusations; a deep wound hidden behind the facade of beauty and glamour.
