Fashion model, UN ambassador and courageous spirit, Waris Dirie is a remarkable woman, born into a traditional family of tribal desert nomads in Somalia. She told her story in her book 'Desert Flower'. Although Waris Dirie fled her homeland, she never forgot the country and culture that moulded her. 'Desert Dawn' is the story of that return and a testimony to the stubborn fact that you can love something dearly and yet not love all that it represents. 'Desert Dawn' is about coming home.
