The Middle East powder keg is just as topical as ever: Islamic State, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Syrian stalemate and Iranian nuclear crisis. Saudi Arabia is instrumental in this complex chess game but remains a little known country, seen as an evil partner in the public mind. This film explores its History and distinctive place in Islam as a bastion of Sunni faith facing its Shiite neighbours, and reveals the inner workings of its regional and international diplomacy at a time of great fragility on all fronts.
