eve what do you know what saudi arabia. you're probably thinking and rich kids. and nightmare for women under extreme interpretation of islam. things people in the west take for granted are not. mixing with opposite sex drinking or talking about politics. but you might also have heard things have opened up recently under the new crown prince women are now allowed to drive. and for the 1st time men and women have been allowed to listen to music together in public. money is best and i work as a fashion stylist in london. but i've never felt totally at home. i grew up in
5:17 pm
northern ireland but i was born in saudi arabia to sudanese parents this is so right yes you are free. to come back to saudi arabia and hope i might be convinced to meet. such live with them for 2 weeks to see what my life would be like a lot more deserving that might. be tied to choke hold a stir resisting attempts to return to saudi saudi or not having a great time at least in western media yeah we don't want to about. would i be allowed to party that is so i think that i would. if i lived here or go in a day should hinder well if they're all to know. that this journey is going to be much more challenging than i imagine all the new uncomfortable or is it the rules going to be. copied i feel it we're going to get in trouble i'll settle that this is crazy but i
5:18 pm
literally was just reading an article. ok if you think down bot. i'm finally on my way to saudi arabia. but just as relieving news breaks i decided journalist who walked into the saudi embassy in turkey and never came out and. it's an interesting title change he allowed to go if they could have said no. i don't wear a headscarf back home amount to me to put on for me down. the braces and that can happen really you know. now i have to find out if i can move back to my birth
5:19 pm
country. you know now. i'm entering saudi jess the director of the film. is 2 women we hope to see things that a male korean might not be able to. not to mention the inside of man's house. oh oh oh oh oh please please please me and. my cousin not just man meets us. and then with. a minute because it's such a. last week that. the fight the fight for our. even my. mother the fact that what you're hearing. about you.
5:20 pm
and not is like everyone's talking about the same you know whatever no not really. i'm going to be living here with a laugh. a mother to mr and that's back. to i refer to them all as i'm new to the arabic for. this is citrus moment the youngest of my and. former. and this is the middle sister he's visiting from sudan. i feel really look at it. only man in the house is much better husband who doesn't want to be on camera. that he. has worked as a university professor here for 25 years. something you never heard of by.
5:21 pm
that forgot with these women they're all that my mother and i seem to think is fine this is another good i'm going to make by doing something. i thought i would feel really unsafe being here is so far i feel nothing but sifting. through you are. you. willing to love. yourself that. moulin rouge. notion morning linda. i think it should be that of the mystic i believe by. and by that i.
5:22 pm
am that it may sound i that. you and i have to say that you may plan what has that will shatter the lot of you do love you. love. you. although the dress code seems to have listened and that mounts trust me the way they like. they want that. so we. could see if they think it is ok. part of the deal for being allowed to film in saudi is our company by fixers and a government minder at all times. we need them downstairs. like what does it mean that like oh yeah i did something yeah but really you really
5:23 pm
. need to. come to the mall for a beer. which is a mix of the usual western brands but also special about shops. so. what size is this the straddle. i don't need to know. so the price is right they. need to make 700 pounds. i know where to. know next. time. as we're walking around and notice that most women are wearing film cops but
5:24 pm
like man said there are also lots of women wearing open a bias or no headscarf or told. some really like us ok. i left not a problem right. are you ok. are you uncomfortable or is it the rules. she's not wearing even. before we get a chance to try anywhere else all the shops close for prayer. i just think you're right even say. i don't really stop to pray in my normal life but i go along with it for man. but when we come right our fixer suddenly i'm very asking why jess and i aren't wearing abayas. goodies
5:25 pm
just things like going to sleep but i mean just the filming director are both dressed in dark loose for light clothing that might help the choose but apparently it's not good enough. and i. don't know yet i. was hoping you'd think if i. didn't make it i also know that. i managed to find a pink abayas for 50 pounds. each and i'm. happy. to hear. that everyone wins. i'm a bit annoyed by the way the sixers handled the situation but i also get that with the case they might be a bit more a match. and you realize all these women are turning around so you can get them
5:26 pm
just all of them all of them i knew that not everybody wants to be on t.v. but here i feel like there's more to it. i get talking to a girl to check out every single time we have a camera of all the women and get really scared of the camera and i don't really understand what they're. about to people because. we. don't a lot of you now have like sat chatting and face. that's on the worldwide web. so it's a lot of it to do which fathers and husbands oh you used to. i don't know you know this is a moment do you agree with you know you don't because you don't mind oh yes no i agree with you so if this camera you play with ok so you think you should question children by. this interest and she said there's not china it's from it's fine being on t.v. is not. say that the internet is worse than a t.v.
5:27 pm
nowadays. social media seems to be the place to breakthroughs. but it can have consequences. a woman from saudi arabia was arrested after. walking around in egypt in a mini skirt and her hair exposed. and in saudi you could be punished for even sitting next to a member of the opposite sex at work gyptian a man has been arrested in saudi arabia after he posted a video of himself having breakfast with a coworker. social media isn't so relevant for mt. and so many women cover themselves up completely i wonder if she ever feels pressure to do so. that's number one you ever feel like just here for not wearing and the cops. are really nationalities me. fine that.
5:28 pm
is important for me i don't wish to move on i think it's a choice. well i know but i can say. you know. this is not a. choice for me but i go where. these. where other less extreme i don't think it's for me to even wear. so it's that your petition of what you want to do what someone says yeah you have to hit by joe i don't wear one yeah but so that i don't have to do anything i don't want to do white but i would not have to follow your religion right but i don't but i but i but then asked and that's it's a messy line. i mean. because you know. i don't want to i don't want to. fight. you want to make me feel
5:29 pm
like you have to say something very much like i can i guess my own personal opinion . on the whole thing. all my life i've tried delicate line between how i want to behave my family expects of me. being here is dragging up lots of my old battles. and even just like living. like and carnage stood outside the car in the musical playing i'm listening just like shimmied there have been i don't. see why they're going to get in trouble if you don't like. and. i haven't talked to anyone that's my age. all of that is talk to adults and men alike are 100
5:30 pm
minders. just a. little. you know mungo religious piece kind of a recipe because some sort of western music they're on instagram so they are right in the open and they're still getting away with it. but. this you know there's a good thing. i decided to take up an invite from a friend of a friend have been speaking to on line to go to the launch party the magazine i did 7 minutes away that. you know let's just say that look you know what i am well by
5:31 pm
the way when we come in ok ok i'm going to but i was going to say. ok let's just say we're here and no i don't. but i'm. going to. start. by. asking. her to go. to. her. destination magazine is a government indoor city guide which also promotes up and coming saudis think there's. really no i'm sorry. i. was.
5:32 pm
she. may. be. signing my friend or i. know my. time thinking maybe. i. didn't find our time yet somehow i met up like how are you like.
5:33 pm
oh. oh. oh. oh. oh oh. oh. oh. oh. oh oh. oh oh. oh. oh oh. 000000. oh oh. oh 0 0 4 4 . i mean i don't. want to.
5:34 pm
i wake up feeling more at ease after seeing what's possible in saudi. but just when i'm starting to feel better about saudi there's news about the missing journalist. cia directors heard audio recording of interrogation in the killing a saudi crown prince battles to contain crisis you know they say he didn't he died in a chokehold a stir resisting attempts to return to saudi his body was then rolled into a rug been given to the corporate church to dispose of so effectively what's happening is the crown prince is now saying he did do it that he wasn't aware of it and the people that didn't do it will pay for it here's a picture of. the son i guess of the deceased meeting that crown prince. they hit it so scared. i go for
5:35 pm
a ride to clear my head which in my case. close to the wheel. if i'm seriously going to consider living here i need to see whether i could meet someone. in their lives since that. point of ok no. right off to no no. i think you know it's hard for you have a place and then when you know i want you to take. a hit to be that may say
5:36 pm
but. i. could never be someone has to know. that when i raise the idea of going on a date me no way. i called my brother back in the u.k. to get his advice and written about the concept of me going and sitting at a table with another man effectively course ears eyes but just like the strangest thing to them like in their ideal world it was ideal world like to replace the image fix you up we supplied you with whole new tricks of these just keep going the fact that statistics are now you or them right i must apologize to you once a lives great body of the day i say go for it because you can do it i wouldn't take any series of life their thoughts on this wherever the consequences are it's i'd reversible with the has no guilt. guilt here there's nothing to be guilty i am
5:37 pm
letting you know how you. know of letting people die. this time. letting people down what are we kidding ourselves here right ok guys i better go because i've been in the room with a locked door for a while that makes it look like i'm like. i need 3 or a no i didn't get to the 1st reverse to do this. and the whole left of the you'll. be shocked me but for the real. i'm just a month until i'm ok i'm being summoned by the outside world still folks in the case we've decided to go to mecca. help us and meet the how to send me out. to meet somebody and they pay to help us through it means that it's. eating a lot to offer to hunt you and your sponsor company to me. to set you in
5:38 pm
a sense in having more hi pete sampras for hooked up with this. man helps me into the state of herm. this to purity need to be a free enter mekka. that had don't get asked to hit by sandy as i did and he you know if you can hear men that look at it and if they're not sitting behind. them almost like he's there. for the 1st time in a while i start to think more closely about my relationship with god. our. family said that she wanted us to do more together and i suddenly feel guilty for doing it without her. and. it was.
5:39 pm
clearly hammering. away so i ring it after i get them out then. you're right. it's. just more of the devil's. here. he was living in the moment where she was and there. it is think if you can take your. time. and it may have been more. this life as a mom here but as out just want to think it was. kind. of mean i think you know that even when the mom was.
5:40 pm
a students. are not allowed to enter mecca so we stuck to that just turn back. and. there's something incredibly moving about being here with thousands of other people.
5:41 pm
well he certainly will not be given that kind of money to give to young is a business move and yes i know well that. yeah i was wrong and even. which it could read out like that in my zone and not yet because he and me. either get it will get. i get that you need to go to the point oh yeah we love. it.
5:42 pm
there's a law about being muslim that i love and visiting mecca reminded me of that but the way saudi interprets the rules of islam sometimes feels wrong it scares me that as a woman i wouldn't be totally in control of my own life if i lived here. i'm not sure i'd want to raise a daughter in a country where her male relatives can make her decisions for her. just recently i heard about the case of her half of. a saudi teenager who fled to thailand to escape her family in saudi alleging abuse. and there are so many other stories like hers. but as i keep finding the sanity nothing is clear cut. looking for a place to exercise i come across a mixed group of men and women who've been in public. i
5:43 pm
decide to join the next session but 1st i need to find something to run and. this is your gym because i used to train your meaning. women have only been able to run in public in the last year so i'm because most women still wouldn't feel comfortable running with. james. has designed special sports about. this was our original color yeah it was. it comes in 2 different ones it comes in a low arch with a member of the ring and then there's the arch. this one which is more suitable for running or biking and i tried it on again for sure. yeah. it's simple enough for you to ride this is all i have yet.
5:44 pm
it's just that when i have one if i can really do whatever you're. they like me because it started making a connection with people like i'm working in your area and we see each other from far away it's like we both you know i was so low reading this this weird and yet really mean only connection feeling between people and i think that's the change means now that's how these changing everyone feels like let's kind of get together and it's pretty that these are like hubs of being like we're both doing it will be moving forward a little bit but it's not constantly i want to say anything few months ago and now it's gotten so much better yeah because there are a lot of a lot more girls behind the wheel right now but it's like we still need a lot of work. speaking to jane reminds me that i've already been here a week but i still haven't driven
5:45 pm
a car. it's hard to believe the before june 2018 women would be arrested for attempting to drive i don't see how to raise. it to try to have good service i'm doing it and i'm going to guess i'm just we're just going to make it and me and i spend it. and the cars and nobody knows about parts of the law i want to just show what. i know it's going to be a delicate matter but i tell my aunt that i want to drive a car but look sure that she we will for you right in front the same time because here i see her worried about. driving rather than being allowed. i'm afraid that everything anything we copy it will take all our and there's no. you just for the 1st time the work right now right if you
5:46 pm
need one so much right now so it's about keeping up appearances so it happens i'm creating a 5. i was trying to understand. him on the field and called this a book if you come here i need to see this last installment right on my 42 years or more everything that you and everyone malaise that i created right then but i'm not all right stride. so you protect. them to meet for the 1st time going on but you were like well you might as we'll never be as good ok because it was only what is going to happen ok so i want everything you know you really protect you.
5:47 pm
don't. want. badman no it. doesn't. get. by. you i've decided to take my chances if i'm going to live here i need to be able to carry around a man. i might even be the 1st british woman to drive in saudi. our government minder is at the car rental place when we arrive and he's already decided where he wants me to try to push him off the ship. i don't.
5:48 pm
know. why because he's not so it still is. what. he. does it is. still. a little bit right. it's something different. i haven't told him that this is my 1st time driving with an instructor i only got my license 2 weeks before coming. left left left left left therefore there's no as america you know what's tragic our. kids pick out. the. trash it's nice houses look at that so the house is
5:49 pm
a palace. but the people who live here are cats the clothes people. businessmen about high position they cover their needs to kill for me to. be company. the fixer instructs me. as to where he wants me to try. last crack making you turn. that's a big statement into their yeah you're. of course i think so big and you sure you want me to says you didn't. talk away before now i know you told me before but i don't we don't actually do you turns the u.k. they're a little bit happy that they're there i can't really. i need to understand the privilege that i have right now. we had 2 women in the front seat of a car which has only been available today in the state. in the last 3 i.
5:50 pm
only stopped for a minute we ask our fixer to get the s.b. from the other car so we can play some music. it's not mean just her alone and people activists who campaigned for the right strikes. on the evening of september 26th have sat at home in riyadh saudi arabia eyeing her smartphone she was not the only one under order that she's been i think government had made some more calls to other women's rights activists and the government effectively want to take credit they don't want the activists to take credit for they feel like they're like we as men get the t.v. . even though they've been advocating for 3 years. the article goes on to say things are now in prison. minutes later to me turn sour.
5:51 pm
why are you outside you don't need to be outside it turns out the one of our local crew overheard us talking about the imprisoned octopus and immediately reported it to the government minder. the people in charge of the company are furious. we didn't look like it this is crazy but i literally was just reading an article. because one of the finals of the right to drive and i can drive because women are fighting for the right to drive because when i fall for the right stride now i can drive. it in the car for a 2nd just because. she's basically said stop killing israelis be to make him think. she's like the snobs this is not the set of eyes you're into the story of truck. i don't know you from. and why should i care about activists the only reason women can drive is because the things about it. strike.
5:52 pm
control is. to drive us back home and tell us not to film i said the house where they contact the government and react i'm not going to sit here. and wait. what i wouldn't give to be at home right now. i think we're going to get. my. letter of those. and see. if you. get your. kids. shipping. rates from pew. and

5:55 pm
the angry thing we have done. all things are like. censors sure spike women's rights quote. the current story of souter. jets. i'm disappointed because like i just guessed this week was like reduce so many find the missing things that you don't doing this week is such a shame to those reading female entrepreneurs disagreed and i was going money with a running client i mean i don't dislike this country and i'd like the people have had a nice time i mean it's almost like you have to leave the country at the. kind of. thing that they want to do and let them do it don't try is the west to china
5:56 pm
possibly i feel like i'm something that they don't want to they don't want us to shine a light on their own country. and next there are some of us clerk now it's like how far it's just a shame more than saying it's a shame yeah. someone. very unlucky call or went wrong ok it is just. fine job you all and i think this will be a very big experience for both of you ok that's what us also ok for me i don't want to feel sorry afterwards there's nothing. to it. ok. so obviously feet we're lucky. beasts he is gone before we
