Saudi nationals have been victims of negative stereotypes for many years, and this newly released video aims to change that.
The video – titled "The Truth About Saudi People" – has garnered more than 70,000 views since it was first posted to YouTube.
Starting with a voiceover, the video opens with the dreams of a Saudi kid, whose parents envisioned a successful future for him since he was a little boy.
"There was always hope and belief in me and my future," he says.
Then, the voiceover is abruptly interrupted with mockery and laughter – as if the kid's dreams are out of reach ... as if the dreams of Saudi kids are exactly that. Distant, unattainable dreams.
It goes on to mock the kingdom's lack of success stories in the field of football, medicine and engineering.
But, it doesn't stop at there. Another voiceover takes over, challenging all those who claim the kingdom lacks successful talent.
Saudis have excelled in various fields throughout the years, and it's a shame that these success stories have been overlooked by the world.
The video highlights some of these Saudis, who have found immense success in different ways.
