Forbidden Bicycle
Kielletty polkupyörä
A documentary about a female immigrant who learns to ride a bicycle. She comes from a country where it is ‘haram’ (against Islam) for a woman to ride a bicycle. In Islamic countries, many women dream of being allowed to cycle, attracted by the idea of independence and freedom, mobility and speed. Following the woman learning to ride a bike, the film also sheds light on the unfair social status of women.
