An eye-opening journey through female life in Saudi Arabia, where women are forbidden to drive or mix with men in public and need permission to study, work, and travel. Filmmakers Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Maiken Baird — the first crew given access to this world — embed with a fearless group of female students at an all-women’s university along with the first Saudi woman to announce her candidacy for local office — while also weaving in the voices of religious clerics, working mothers, and young women who embrace Islamic tradition. The result is a rare glimpse into a shadowy world that explores the Kingdom’s complexities and tensions in the face of radical change.
