"A Thousand Girls Like Me was selected to be a @berthadochouse First because of its riveting, cinematically engaging form in dealing with an almost impossibly difficult subject. By focusing on a personal narrative it exposes this urgent issue in a much more immediate way than statistics, figures or even fiction. A great documentary that deserves cinema exposure.' Elizabeth Wood - Director - see A Thousand Girls Like Me at DocHouse in London starting October 5
