Oh! I am so happy I was born in the West: "Fayez al-Malki, star of the movie, Menahi, poses in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia late Saturday June 6, 2009, in front of a poster of his film, which became the first movie to be publicly screened in Riyadh in more than three decades. Women were banned from the show because organizers could not get permission for them to attend. Still, the decision to show the film, produced by a company owned by royal tycoon Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, at the government-run cultural center was a daring step and a challenge to the more conservative elements of society".
