Inside Saudi Arabia: The People Pushing for Change and Looking for Freedom | ENDEVR Documentary

Inside Saudi Arabia: The People Pushing for Change and Looking for Freedom | ENDEVR Documentary from 2019
Episode 1: In Search for Freedom
In this first episode, we travel across Saudi Arabia and follow the reforms from within for a year. The country wants to diversify its economy by opening its borders to tourism. In Jeddah, many young people hope for change, demanding greater equality between men and women, but the conservative opposition is enormous. One wrong word and they can be arrested. How far do they go in the fight for freedom?
About "Inside Saudi Arabia": Saudi Arabia is well known across the world for its wealth, strict faith and oppression, but while Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has decreed that it wants to reform, the world is startled by the murder of journalist Khashoggi and other human rights violations. Inside Saudi Africa follows the developments from the inside, through the eyes of the inhabitants themselves.

I think the Saudi public were hoping for some change, so they are attune to the changes taking place. They’re mentally prepared for it, including those who would normally oppose such a change. Hopefully, they should not swap old values for extreme modernism, and adhere to important Islamic injunctions, which was their guiding light since its conception.

[@genievesantos3631]

I really pray that the Saudi government will have the heart to give women more chances to show their talents and skills. That they will be allowed to study in bigger schools, and work in different industries to contribute to their country. If that's so, this nation will be blessed with more industrious people.

Although I disagreed with the views and actions of the conservative preacher Mr Walid, I praise his commitment to moderation and I feel he represents the moderate conservatives Islam which I have the utmost respect. It is not wrong to propagate your faith and seek to advise co religionists to adhere to the teachings of the religion in accordance to tradition if done without coercion and threat of violence. However it is wrong when the coercive force of the State and its monopoly to inflict violence is used to enforce those religions views. As for the " Liberal" portion of the West, I quote Montesque " La Liberte est le droit de faire toutes ce que les lois permettent" Liberty is the right to do all the things that the laws permit. Exactly what Mr Walid said.
