Wadjda

The first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia and the first feature-length film made by a female Saudi director in a country where cinemas are banned and women cannot drive or vote. This is the story of a young girl living in a suburb of Riyadh determined to raise enough money to buy a bicycle in a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl’s virtue.  Writer / director Haifaa al-Mansour has broken many barriers with this film.
