Don’t miss our August Movie!
Wadjda (2012, Directed by Haifaa Al-Mansour, Not Rated, 98 min.)
An enterprising Saudi girl signs on for her school’s Koran recitation competition as a way to raise the remaining funds she needs in order to buy the green bicycle she has her heart set on.
This inspirational story was the first film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia, the first feature-length film by a Saudi Arabian female director, and the country’s first official submission to the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.
