WADJDA is a movie of firsts. This first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia is the story of a young girl living in a suburb of Riyadh determined to raise enough money to buy a bike in a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl's virtue. Even more impressive, WADJDA is the first feature film made by a female Saudi filmmaker. In a country where cinemas are banned and women cannot drive or vote, writer- director Haifaa Al Mansour has broken many barriers with her new film.
Thank you DaveTheBoss, I will definitely get this one.
I have to wonder about the synopsis of a "society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl's virtue". I won't comment specifically on that, but my experience as a BOY is that those tiny bicycle seats could be very uncomfortable and potentially dangerous to my OWN "virtue"!
