The documentary “Kingdom Uncovered: Inside Saudi Arabia” uncovers shocking revelations about the worker deaths and human rights abuses related to Mohammed bin Salman’s Saudi Vision 2030. Over 21,000 Indian, Bangladeshi, and Nepalese workers have died while working on various aspects of the program since 2017, with more than 100,000 people “disappearing” during NEOM’s construction. Reports of wage theft, illegal working hours, and the forceful removal of Indigenous people further highlight the harsh reality faced by workers. The exposé also reveals corruption and racism among senior executives, including Wayne Borg’s derogatory remarks about laborers. Controversy surrounds the project, with some architecture firms resigning in response to human rights abuses.
