Saudi-Arabiens 500-Milliarden-Traum: Warum The Line im Sand versinkt | 4K Doku

In the heart of the Saudi Arabian desert, a city unlike any the world had ever seen was supposed to rise: The Line – 170 kilometers long, 200 meters wide, 500 meters high, and planned for up to nine million people. No cars, no conventional roads, no endless suburbs. Instead: glass, technology, clean energy, and the promise of a completely new future. But today, the desert presents a different picture. Roads lead nowhere, workers' camps stand amidst rocks and dust, foundations have been prepared – but the grand city of the future is still far from fulfilling its original promise. What has become of Saudi Arabia's colossal NEOM dream? This documentary looks behind the renderings of The Line: at the gigantic costs, the technical limitations, the quantities of glass, steel, and concrete, the role of the 2034 World Cup, the planned NEOM Stadium, Trojena, Oxagon, and Sindalah. It's not just about a construction project, but about whether even a wealthy country can force its way into the future when nature, logistics, and reality clash. Has The Line failed—or is Saudi Arabia beginning to rethink its dream?
