Wadjda (Dir Haifaa Al-Mansour, 2012, Saudi Arabia/Germany, Cert PG, 98 mins) is the story of an enterprising Saudi girl who signs up for her school's Koran recitation competition as a way to raise the remaining funds she needs in order to buy the green bicycle that has captured her interest. This ground breaking uplifting film is the first ever to be made by a Saudi Arabian female director and is her debut film. It has received much critical success across the world and has won 18 film awards.
