Living within a conservative suburb of Riyadh, rebellious eleven-year-old Wadjda has her heart set on a green bicycle so that she can beat the boys in their neighbourhood races. But when her mother forbids it, anticipating a reaction from a society that disapproves of women riding bicycles, an enterprising Wadjda decides to raise the money herself by entering a local Qur'an-reading competition that offers a cash prize. A touching, often witty, feel good, coming of age proto feminist drama from Saudi Arabia..who’d a thought it?!
