Today for #WomensHistoryMonth I want to recognize Nayla Al Khaja. She is not only the UAE’s first ever female director, but also founded one of the most successful production companies in the area, D-Seven Motion Pictures. Nayla started working on her production company after realizing the many obstacles that face filmmakers in the UAE. She tackles subjects that are usually off the table in the Emirates, ranging from arranged marriages to the secret dates women go on behind their parent’s backs. Al Khaja has been awarded a number of awards from all over the world, most notably the honor of Emirates Woman of the Year presented to her by Benazir Bhutto in 2005. #HerStory #WomenInFilm #UAE #Arabana #UnveilingDubai #Malal #TheNeighbor -- source link
