Lovely Marisa Tomei has played some scene-stealing females in her career. (Btw, thanks for still showing love to My Cousin Vinny, TBS. Very funny indeed.) But now, the Academy Award-winning actress is making her directorial debut with a powerful short film called Woineshet, about a young woman who fought back against bride abduction in Ethiopia. The story comes from Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn’s best-selling book and global women’s rights movement Half The Sky.
