Haifaa al-Mansour, the acclaimed director behind the groundbreaking film ‘Wadjda,’ returns with her latest feature, ‘Unidentified,’ a sharp and compelling murder mystery set in Saudi Arabia. This film masterfully blends suspense with a powerful social commentary on female oppression in a society grappling with change.
