Great article from the Road CC about an upcoming protest tomorrow taking place in Saudi Arabia about women's rights of transportation.
"Simply, ‘Wadjda’ is a story about a girl who wants to ride a bike.
The film approaches a number of the legal and cultural boundaries that
restrict women in Saudi Arabia, while keeping the young protagonist’s
desire to ride her bike case-in-point."
