I’d like to watch a Saudi movie or read a Saudi book.


As an American I’ve never seen a movie made by Saudis but I’d like to. I’ve never read a book written by a Saudi about normal everyday Saudi people going about their lives.

For the Saudis on this board I’m asking for your advise. What books should I read about your county? What movies should I watch that were filmed in Saudi Arabia? Thank you.

My country's motion picture and literary output for export is, I'm afraid, very limited. I don't know if any of the local material published in English is available at your end but I can recommend the following links as a starting point.
