Wadjda

An enterprising Saudi girl signs on for her school’s Koran recitation competition—always dominated by boys— as a way to raise the money she needs to buy a green bicycle that has captured her interest. In a country where cinemas are banned and women cannot drive or vote, writer-director Haifaa Al Mansour has broken many barriers with her charming and powerful debut picture, the first ever by a female Saudi Arabian filmmaker.
