I found it very interesting and very sad. Did anyone else happen to watch this on Frontline?

Spike: Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

I saw with my wife; she fell asleep but I was glued to the show. It's one of those events in recent history that doesn't get the attention it deserves. Kudos to Frontline and PBS.

i've been looking for a place that sells the movie, haven't found it, and Netflix doesn't have it either...BOOOO...do you know where I can find?

At first it seemed a bit dated, but I found it quite interesting. Things seem to progress at a glacial pace in Saui-land. One highlight is seeing how far Beirut has advanced from its tragic civil war.

WGBH is selling in their site for those who are interested.

Frontline on PBS just broadcast it again tonight.

I totally agree, the execution of the Saudi princess and her lover didn't (and still doesn't) get the attention it deserves. Apparently Saudi Arabia was pissed off when "Death of a Princess" was made and aired; I cannot imagine why.  I truly respect and admire Anthony Thomas for his courage and determination to research and tell her story!
BTW, you can watch "Death of a Princess" for free right here:
