Cycle September- Deal Film Club Presents Wadjda (2012)

This is the first feature film produced by Saudi Arabia and is, quite unexpectedly, directed by a woman. Haifaa al-Mansour was forced to shoot many of the Riyadh street scenes in secret from the back of a van, as laws forbade her from mixing publicly with the men in the crew. The film follows Wadjda’s despair, determination and delight as she pursues her dream of buying and riding a green bicycle.

Enjoy this film under the beautiful Deal night sky with all your fellow cycling enthusiasts!
