The Dissident Ratings & Reviews
- The Gaea Connection25 April 2025This shows you just how much the people with power will scorch earth to preserve their way of life. Doesn't matter the lives that are taken.
- Dbz11 February 2025Very enlightening and connects to USA 2025 issues. There's always more to the story!! Watch this!
- gaylynj7 August 2025When many of us speak, we do not have to fear what will be done to us. When we speak, we do not have to run from those in power. When Jamal spoke, he feared, for himself, his family and for his country. If you think the US wouldn’t ever stoop so low, think again. You need to watch this film. There needs to be justice, speak up; before you lose your voice.
- Divine Sinz14 April 2025Absolutely amazing documentary! It is relevant to current events in 2025 and broadened my understanding of the relationship that Saudi Arabia has to the rest of the world. Particularly the United States. This is definitely worth the watch, highly recommend.
