🌍 Happy Arab American Heritage Month! As we honor the culture, heritage and history of the diverse peoples of the Arab world, we're highlighting Wadjda, the debut film from Saudi writer-director Haifaa al-Mansour!
This delightful narrative film about a young Saudi girl who desperately wants a bicycle was the first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia and the first feature-length film made by a female Saudi director.
Our Wadjda Curriculum Guide for grades 6-12 features a lesson plan about director Haifaa al-Mansour and her pioneering film achievement! The curriculum guide also introduces students to Saudi Arabia and Islam, and provides a great starting point for discussing gender equality.
