I think it was called Saudi arabia: a bill kurtis special. I thought this was a pretty good documentary because it provided where a lot of the media stereotypes of saudi come from.
He also let his saudi guests speak as oppsed to bludgeoning them with questions after question. I learned a lot
And I liked it because one of the saudi officials he spoke to had even said something tot eh effect that saudi arabia is not innocent in the region either.
What's interesting to note is a lot of saudis get their advanced degrees in the US. And that this media slant that saudi children are taught out of anti semetic books and anti american boooks is overblown because a lot of texts used in saudi schools are printed in the US.
My parents lived in saudi arabia for a while among other places. It seems teh saudis are trying to open the minds of westerners by attracting tourists. It seems to be a nice country..I'd like to go when tensions in the area ease a bit.
Has anyone seen this documentary?
I was thinking that if the saudis want to change their image they may have to start some cultural exchange programs ..and ease up the restrictions on women.
