Storytelling has always been an integral part of Saudi life, from the time of the prophets to the tales told by wise Sahaba, dedicated historians and eccentric adventurers — and, more recently, to the narratives chronicled by Najla Al-Wadaani and Saad Tuhaitih.
The two collaborated in 2019 to produce a short documentary film, “Najla in Aseer,” which brings to life their explorations in Aseer. More recently, they produced “Najla in Jazan,” which takes a similar approach to their travels in Jazan. Together, the films provide a window into the unifying factors between regions in Saudi Arabia.
