Saudi Arabia’s $1 Trillion NEOM Dream Is Falling Apart — Here’s What Happened

Saudi Arabia wanted to build one of the most ambitious megaprojects in modern history. NEOM was envisioned as a futuristic region featuring The Line, Trojena, Oxagon and other massive developments — backed by Saudi Arabia’s powerful Public Investment Fund. But the original vision has run into delays, rising costs and changing priorities. In this documentary, we examine what happened to NEOM, why major parts of the project are being scaled back and redesigned, what happened to The Line and Trojena, and what Saudi Arabia’s changing strategy could mean for its broader economic transformation. The story isn't simply about a project being “cancelled.” It is about money, construction, economic diversification, technology, investment and the difficult reality of turning a futuristic vision into a functioning economy. Watch until the end to understand the business case behind one of the world's most ambitious megaprojects.
