- description: This documentary by Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid provides a rare glimpse into the lives of women in Saudi Arabia, a nation whose legal system is one of the worst violators of women's rights in the modern world. Despite the recent decision to allow women to vote, Saudi Arabia is notorious notorious for its political and social oppression of women. In Saudi Arabia, women need permission from their male guardians to study, work and travel. They are also forbidden to drive and to mix with men in public. Saudi women are also subjected to cruel and violent punishments such as stoning and flogging at a much higher rate than men. Now, a growing number of Saudi women are challenging these traditions and are advocating for legal equality and basic rights. This documentary offers a glimpse into the struggle of these voices of reform against the forces of reaction and repression in Saudi society.
