WADJDA

The first film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia and first feature by a female Saudi filmmaker. Where cinemas are banned and women cannot drive or vote, writer-director Haifaa Al Mansour's new film breaks barriers to tell the story of a feisty young girl determined to have the right to ride a bicycle in a society where doing so is considered a danger to a girl’s virtue.
