In Saudi Arabia's oil-rich
Eastern province a 3-year uprising has been raging, hidden from the world. With unprecedented access, this report explores the biggest protest movement in Saudi history.
In scenes reminiscent of
Libya,
Egypt and
Bahrain, masked protesters fill the streets, fling rocks and chant "martyrdom is better than oppression" as police bullets fly
. In the Shia-dominated Eastern region of
Qatif, there has been growing resentment that despite "standing on top of oil fields that feed the world", local communities suffer poverty, sectarian discrimination and no political freedom. Figureheads of the protests have been added to government wanted lists, been arrested and several have been killed in dubious circumstances. Saudi filmmaker
Safa Al Ahmad risks arrest and worse to get inside this troubled region. One of the most vocal and visible of these protesters is the cleric
Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, shown here celebrating the death of a government minister in
2012. "Why shouldn't we be happy for his death?" he shouts, "God take him and the rest".
Undercover testimony from Nimr's brother
Mohammad illustrates the impact of the Sheik's arrest and death penalty on the bloody protest movement.
