Thumbprint is inspired by the true story of Mukhtar Mai—a trailblazing Pakistani activist whose fight for justice and safety reminds us that women's rights are human rights. After surviving sexual violence perpetrated by a local tribal council in retribution for her brother's alleged crimes, Mukhtar decides to live—and that decision changes the world. Her hope: open a village school for girls to learn to read and write, so that they may avoid the humiliation of signing their names with only a thumbprint. Heartening, and optimistic for the future, this opera is about restorative justice. 

Thumbprint premieres on Portland Opera Onscreen on Thursday, April 20, and will be available to stream on-demand through June 2. Digital passes are $50. 22/23 Season subscribers get discounted passes for $40. Students can unlock passes for $10.
