International Women's Day Movie Night!

We're gathering to celebrate International Women's Day (March 8) and Women's History Month with a film screening of Wadjda (2012) at Ula Cafe in Jamaica Plain! We'll have the full Ula Cafe menu available (plus beer and wine!) so you can have dinner and drinks while enjoying movie night. Plus, Wanderful members will get a free cookie!

Special thanks to for teaming up with Ula and donating their equipment to help make this event happen!

Wadjda (2012) is a Saudi Arabian drama about a spirited 10-year-old girl who dreams of owning a bicycle despite societal restrictions on women. Directed by Haifaa al-Mansour, the film follows Wadjda as she enters a Quran recitation competition to win the prize money, showcasing her determination and challenging traditional gender norms in Saudi Arabia. It was the first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabi and the first feature-length film made by a female Saudi director, and has won numerous awards at film festivals around the world.

Founded in 2013 by Ula's co-owner Beth Santos, Wanderful is an international community of women travelers and travel content creators. Through local events in 50+ hubs worldwide, community trips and an online member space, Wanderful helps foster positive connections among globally minded women while advocating for a more gender equitable travel ecosystem and world.
