I had my fingers crossed for it being a searing indictment of the regime and their policies but… No. Hope it paid well.
Killing 243 people for Drugs! … Yeah, that’s a war on people
The ‘Oppressive Regime’ that the west always describes … Killing their people, harsh policing, forcing women to wear Burka’s and face coverings etc is most common in Saudi Arabia
FYI – You’ll bever find a woman in a Burka or Face Veil in Palestine, Lebanon OR Iran … Only in the Western friendly Arab states
Director of Rabbit-Proof Fence. He sold out his soul
> heroism
it takes heroism to check bags while surrounded by guards?
“Noyce, 76, has been escorted around filming locations and prisons by Turki al-Sheikh, a royal adviser dogged by allegations of human rights violations, including the detention of people who criticise him on social media.”
Not so noyce, if you ask me.
Saudi Arabia is hellbent on white washing their shitty human rights policy and actually artists think twice before signing up with them. It’s just blood money in the end.
