Saudi Arabia is an enigma in the 21st century on one hand its modern infrastructure gives a false impression of development on the other hand its has one of the worst human rights records in the world in fact Saudi Arabia is one of most religiously radicalized societies with adherence to first millennium AD values of the human society, still proudly practiced or otherwise brutally enforced to those who dissent Saudi Arab is not that simple radical country like Afghanistan it has global power base and its tentacles are spread not only over the Muslim countries but US and UK both powerful countries of the world most of time act as cronies of Saudi or vice versa. Saudi has come a long way from desert country to a necessary evil in 21st century. Every developed nation has an ambivalent feeling about the relations with this repressive kingdom. This documentary is a nice attempt to look into the affairs of the country with its special focus on the human rights record and terrorist funding of the country, I will highly recommend this documentary to those who want to understand this extremely important country in global politics.

Nothing is true in this ugly show. Btw Moudi aljohine the one w/ yellow hair is now held in jail in North Carolina, her life been miserable since the day she left Saudi Arabia. This show needs to be removed due to its dishonest content.

There is no cohesive story in this show. It just goes something like "x million was paid to the royal family for bribery and "the Saudi royal family is so corrupt it got x billion dollars in kickbacks."

I think the typical magic in documentaries is making all these stats/figures into a story that can be understood and followed. This just wasn't it. It wasn't digestible at all. It just felt like a bunch of random facts and figures were shoved down my throat. My main takeaway from this show was that the Saudi govt is corrupt (which is no surprise, I think everyone has known this for a very long time).
