Saudi: A Regime Declining?

EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]
RATE THIS

Saudi Arabia's ruling family faces a question this film takes seriously: is the kingdom's grip on power actually weakening? It lays out the pressure points one by one, starting with the regime's record of human rights abuses, from arbitrary detentions to the treatment of dissidents, and moves to the increasingly strained relationship with Washington, once the kingdom's most reliable patron. The film weighs internal factors too, including succession politics within the House of Saud and the economic dependence on oil revenue that leaves the state exposed to price shocks and the slow push toward diversification. Interviews and analysis frame Saudi Arabia not as a monolith but as a system managing multiple sources of instability at once, from regional rivalries to domestic unrest. Rather than predicting collapse outright, the film builds a case for why observers are asking the question in the first place, tracing how decades of dependence on a single ally and a single resource have left the kingdom's position less secure than its wealth suggests.
