Synopsis

Unbounded' tells the story of Huda Al-Ghoson, the first high-ranking female executive in the history of Saudi Aramco, the largest oil company in the world. In an organisation once dominated by men, Al-Ghoson's memoir offers an authentic narrative of courage and empowerment, serving as a testament to the challenges faced by women in Saudi Arabia.

Recalling traumatic memories of adversity and doubt, Al-Ghoson delves into a past that saw a short-lived arranged marriage, a restricted primary education, and a hunger for something greater. Driven by self-determination, she would go on to overcome the odds in a culture where women of her generation once lacked basic rights, taken for granted in Western countries. Encouraged by her mother, she would answer an ad from Saudi Aramco, which would prove to alter the course of her life in ways she could never have anticipated. Starting as an entry-level employee, Huda Al-Ghoson led by example, furthering the cause of gender equality at Aramco.

While progressing in her career, she would shatter glass ceilings, confront workplace harassment, and do the unthinkable - put men in their place. Spirited and rebellious, Unbounded embodies the progressive Saudi Arabia Huda Al-Ghoson envisioned from a young age, and which she can see emerging today.
