The bravest 13 year old girl in the world. 
Directed by Khadija Al-Salami. Yemen. 2005

This is the coolest girl in the world. A pure free spirit. I was a tomboy…but to be a tomboy in a country like Yemen takes bravery that I can’t even grasp. I feel like the word feminist is too small and too limiting for someone this outstanding. 

“What girl? It’s important that she’s confident because she can do many bad things behind the veil. Leave me alone…I want to be happy and breathe fresh air.”
