The fact that a woman filmmaker(Haifaa Al-Mansour) has made a story about a little girl’s bid forindependence in such conditions is quite remarkable.Wadjda, an intelligent, spirited and slightly mischievous 10 year-oldgirl, has one main desire: to own a shiny green bicycle that she canrace against the boy next door. A simple story of one little girl’sdetermination, this delicately shot and beautifully acted film sendsout a strong message about equality and freedom.Amnesty International will be hosting a post-screening discussion to mark International Women’s Day.Dir: Haifaa Al-MansourSaudi Arabia / Germany 2012 / 1h38m / Digital / PGTickets 01382 909 900 15
