In regards to women this is one of the best documentaries I have seen, has won a ton of awards
WALKTOBEAUTIFUL.COM

The award winning feature-length documentary 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.

Told all my girlfriends to watch it, we all had the same reaction crying and donating money to the cause.
Hopefully that's not off putting, their courage is also inspiring
We are so incredibly fortunate compared to most of the rest of the world
For me it is a good reminder to see things like this to snap me out of any pity party I might have going on
