South Asian Women in Media (SAWM) in association with Lahore Film and Literary Club (LFLC) invite you to the screening of film:
“Women of the Holy Kingdom” directed by Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy
In Saudi Arabia, women need permission from their male guardians to study, work and travel. They are also forbidden to drive and mix with men in public. Now, a growing number of Saudi Women are challenging these traditions and are clamoring for more rights. Sharmeen Obaid documents the emerging women’s movement. Obaid also interviews religious clerics and young working mothers who denounce change and label the women’s movement as immoral.
Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is the first non- American journalist to be awarded the prestigious Livingston Award and the youngest recipient of the One World Media broadcast journalist of the year award in the United Kingdom.
