(45 mins) This new series is in three parts (1) Saudi Arabia in development, (2) The Nation (4 segments) and (3) The Heritage (4 segments). Most Saudi Arabian films have emphasized the spectacular development that has occurred in the country since the discovery of oil. This film is distinctive in that it includes Saudi Arabian cultural heritage along with the new. These are segments on the Heritage Festival, horses and falcons and the family. The distinctive message about women in Saudi Arabia is their absence in the film. The section on sports will be of interest after Saudi Arabian World Cup participation.
