Among experts, the practice of female genital mutilation (FMG) is widely considered African or Islamic. CUT conclusively proves that FGM can be found as a native practice on all inhabitable continents. From war zones in the Middle East to suburban white America, the film visits fifteen countries and features key interviews with FGM survivors, activists, cutters, doctors and researchers to uncover an often secret practice shrouded in centuries of traditions, mysticisms and irrationalities
