Haifaa Al Mansour ist eine aufregende Filmemacherin. Sie war es, die mit „Das Mädchen Wadjda“ 2012 den ersten vollständig in Saudi-Arabien gedrehten Spielfilm überhaupt präsentierte und damit als Regisseurin und als Frau tatsächlich Geschichte geschrieben hat. 2019 ist sie für den Film „The Perfect Candidate“ / „المرشحة المثالية“ aus den USA in ihre Heimat zurückgekehrt. (ARD, Wh.)

🎁 The best gifts come from the heart. Give your students the gift of WADJDA, the delightful story of a convention-defying Saudi girl whose heart is set on the impossible goal of getting a bicycle, from Saudi Arabia's first woman director Haifaa Al Mansour. It's a great film for grades 6-12 & also for watching as a family!
