Yemen 2005. Dir Khadija Al-Salaami. 29 min. 12A

A captivating hilarious film following 13-year-old Nejmia who flouts custom and refuses to wear a veil. Nejmia plays in the streets with boys, rides a bicycle, a scooter, and generally does whatever she likes. She is cursed, ridiculed, and threatened, but, is buoyed by a truly indomitable spirit she perseveres with incredible good humor and a sense of perspective.
