We had put a call-out on our website and on Twitter in conjunction with the publication of ‚Ladies First,‘ a Times documentary I directed about the first Saudi elections in which women were allowed to vote and run for local office. Saudi Arabia is an incredibly private, patriarchal society. While I was making the film, many women were afraid to share their stories for fear of backlash from the male relatives who oversee all aspects of their lives as so-called guardians. We wanted to hear more about their fears, their frustrations, their ambitions.“ (Mona El-Naggar: „‚I Live in a Lie‘: Saudi Women Speak Up“)
