  Thank you for posting. I’m going to watch this. Would have probably never known about it, without this ‘outcry’.

  Something that tells us how shitty it can be in Saudi Arabia? Outcry from who?

    From the oppressors ofc.

    The movie has caused uproar in Saudi Arabia with Saudi nationals calling for a boycott of Netflix on social media and claiming that the movie “dramatically exaggerates” an isolated case of migrant worker abuse, reinforces negative stereotypes of Saudi culture, and is a fundamentally outdated and flawed depiction of Saudi Arabia’s treatment of its migrant workforce.
