Faces of Saudi captures a nation in transition. As Saudi Arabia opens its doors to the world, this documentary series reveals the personal stories behind the headlines – the people, landscapes, and transformations shaping a country redefining its present and future.

The first episode follows Dr. Helena Villela, a biologist working in coral conservation. Helena moved from Brazil to Saudi Arabia five years ago, unsure if she would adapt to a new culture and way of life. What she didn’t expect was to find a second home. Friends who became family. A country once distant and misunderstood that became her safe harbor.

Filmed across deserts, mountains, and the Red Sea coastlines, Faces of Saudi celebrates the human spirit in a rapidly changing landscape. It explores how the nation balances tradition and modernity, culture and conservation, progress and preservation.
