How to combine modernity and fundamentalist Islam. "Saudi Solutions" is a unique and revealing documentary about the lifestyles and attitudes of ambitious career womenin conservative Saudi Arabia -- the only country in the Arabworld where women are obliged to cover themselves inabayas and aren't allowed to drive cars. Because of the strong influence of fundamentalist Islam on society, filmingis severely restricted in Saudi Arabia. With unique access to the Kingdom, Backlight had the opportunity to film the daily routines of Saudi working women. This documentaryfeatures a top gyneacologist, a TV news anchor woman, a photographer, and a university professor. It also introducesthe wealthy Prince Al-Waleed, who passionately promotes the acceptance of women into the workforce. He kindly invitesBacklight to his luxury desert camp, but there are no women to be found—only thousands of men.

i agree wiht you but i have to say this is also common in arab culture. maybe not openly in saudi arabia but other countries. women are exploted to some extent in almost every culture. the west doesnt try to hide it as much. when you put a naked woman on a magazine youre disrespecting her and when you think all shes good for is marriage and to have kids you're disrespecting her.

I know,I am actually surprised they behead homosexuals in that country.I`m sure they have lots of them.If you surround yourself with men,hang out with men,work with men,talk to men only, everything with MEN,no women.You are always taught that a woman is a piece of crap.How can you avoid becoming a homo in this situation?There is a thriving black market for alcohol,porn and drugs.Even some members of the royal family drink and get prostitutes.They need to liberalize their culture.

How holy of a man is this? Lol, one that doesn't like fat people...oh, yesss...a very holy man indeed. Less money on women, boats, palaces, and planes and more time with leading and aiding your people in a pure righteous holy way and serving the LORD!

You can have a job, but you won't make as much and then your assed out on how to get yourself there. The Prince and his people are no god, but they like to be treated as one, they share their money, but with all he has he could probably do more with it.

Then in front of a brother in-law and have to be covered up? This is an extentsion of family and you show the lack of trust by not allowing yourself or face to be shown under your own home and segragating yourself. Because your religious, Islamic men, can really not be trusted to control themselves and to fight the temptations of the devil and not have unholy thoughts, the women have to cover themselves so that they don't get any ideas.
