SUMMARY:Arabic Film Night in Blacksburg: Wadjda
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Arabic Film Night! Film: Wadjda (Arabic with English Subtitles). The film portrays the predicament of 11-year old Wadjda\, a Saudi Arabian girl who loves riding bikes\, but who must deal with the social taboos associated with riding a bike as a female.\n\n \n\nWadjda must also face the challenge of raising the funds necessary to purchase the bike of her choice. We accompany the resilient and resourceful Wadjda\, as she perseveres at making her dream come true. Directed by female director Haifaa al-Mansour\, the film artfully elucidates Arab girls’ and women’s savvy navigation of cultural norms and their empowerment in challenging some of these norms from within the fabric of their society.\n\nThis screening is supported by the Film Screening Fund from the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences\, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures\, and Newman Library.\n\nLocation: Fralin Life Sciences Auditorium (at VT)
