Haifaa Al-Mansour

What's it like growing up as a girl in Saudi Arabia, a country where women are educated separately, forbidden to drive cars and often prevented from working? HARDtalk speaks to Haifaa Al-Masour, a Saudi film-maker and the country's first female director. In her film 'Wadjda', she's captured the daily routines of Saudi life seen through the eyes of a little girl who wants the simple freedom, permitted to the boys around her, to own and ride a bike.
