Saudi Arabia's Theocratic Regime | Reforms or Repression Under MBS?

Beschreibung:

Saudi Arabia is known worldwide for its wealth, strict faith, and oppression. While Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has declared a desire for reform, the murder of journalist Khashoggi and other human rights violations have shocked the world. The documentary follows the trail of pilgrims from the port of Jeddah to the Holy Kaaba, exploring the call for a more moderate Islam and questioning whether religious leaders truly support it. It examines the impact of Khashoggi’s murder on the reforms and whether support for the Crown Prince is crumbling. The film also travels to the rarely covered conservative South, on the border with Yemen, where resistance to change is fiercest.
