Saudi Arabia’s Most Expensive Human Rights Cover Up

A hidden camera, police checkpoints, and voices the world rarely hears. This undercover investigation enters Saudi Arabia to test the glossy promises of Vision 2030 against life on the ground.

Inside Jeddah’s flattened neighborhoods, a million residents face eviction as NEOM and The Line surge ahead. Migrant workers describe 10 months without pay, 84-hour weeks, and passports withheld. A protest after Raju falls gravely ill ends with flames and a body on a flight home. In the desert, Huwaytat families resist removal and pay a severe price. We follow the case of Manahel Al-Ataibi, jailed over tweets and photos deemed “immodest,” as executions rise and detention centers ban phones—but not the abuses they hide. Filming under constant risk, our reporter gathers rare on-site footage and testimony that challenge the PR videos and celebrity endorsements.

Watch to see what our cameras captured, what workers dared to say, and why critics abroad believe the costs are being concealed. The answers are more complex—and far more dangerous—than the headlines suggest. Stay to the end for the revelations no official tour will show you.
