The heart of this documentary lies in its access to friends and advisers. Western spies and diplomats with first hand knowledge share their experience of a modernizing young Prince (allowing women to drive) who refuses to tolerate internal dissent (an alleged role in the death of Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist who was brutally murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul).
Part two focuses on four days in the autumn of 2017 during which bin Salman bought the most expensive painting in the world (Da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi); announced the construction of a vast glass city – the biggest infrastructure project in history – and launched an anti-corruption drive that involved the detention of 200 of the wealthiest men in the country, who were then forced to give back billions of dollars he said they owed.
