omg i just saw this film trailer for 'Hijra' and its giving me LIFE
! shahad ameen's vision for this road movie is so inspiring, she's not afraid to take on the tough stuff like cultural stereotypes and societal constraints in saudi arabia. the fact that she's using her own experiences as an immigrant from china to saudi arabia to tell this story is just genius
. i love how the film delves into themes of identity, belonging, and cultural diversity - it's so refreshing to see a film that showcases the complexities of saudi society in a nuanced way. plus, the cinematography looks stunning, especially with all the diverse locations they've chosen to shoot in. can't wait to watch this film and see what others think!
