A screening of the film, My Driver and I, accompanied by a live conversation with Saudi Arabian filmmaker Ahd Kamel
In the 80s and 90s, Jeddah, a Saudi girl, and her Sudanese driver form an unlikely friendship which is tested when she starts to take the wheel. Salma, a young, privileged, and rebellious girl from Saudi Arabia, is born to a strict, grief-stricken mother and a loving but absent workaholic father. Gamar, a young Sudanese man, left his family and moved to Jeddah to earn a living driving Salma. My Driver and I is the story of Salma and Gamar’s relationship and how quickly it evolves from a simple master/servant dynamic to an intimate personal friendship that bonds them through her teenage years and beyond. Salma eventually realises, possibly too late, that Gamar wasn't just her driver, he was her best friend, and she was his. The story is about independence and finding family in the most unusual places. He drives her in a car, but ultimately enables her to take the wheel of her own life's journey.
