From the first scene of the movie, the audience travels back in time to 1919. With the majority of the viewers from Saudi Arabia, the film took them to the roots of their nation.
The audience is shown the old Saudi Arabia and how it was at the time. The houses are made from clay, and the film is filled with beautiful landscapes and actors that portrayed their roles perfectly.
“Born A King” was partly shot in Riyadh and Diriyah and sees a teenage Faisal, who later became king of Saudi Arabia, as the young hero sent by his father to lead negotiations in London with the fate of his nation resting on his shoulders.
The grace with which the prince carried out his duties and never forgot his origins left the audience with a sense of pride. The movie is highly recommended not just for the Saudis but for everyone who enjoys historic events, particularly those interested in the history of the Middle East.
