The Promised Land

The Promised Land The Promised Land is a cinematic short that follows Imam Mohammed bin Saud on the night he decides that Diriyah must no longer live at the mercy of raids. Carrying a single mud brick into the majlis, he triggers a turning point: the order to build a great protective wall around the emerging capital. As the wall rises brick by brick, we cut between flashes of the battles and ambushes that shaped his resolve and scenes of new life inside the fortified town, safer markets, learning, and children at play. Until Diriyah stands as a secure heart in the desert, the first solid outline of the nation to come.
