Saudi Arabia’s Lost Crown Prince: What Happened to Mohammed bin Nayef?

He was the CIA’s most trusted intelligence partner in the Middle East, the decorated architect of Saudi Arabia’s war on terror, and the man Washington had bet on to become the next King of the Kingdom. But on the night of June 20th, 2017, in a marble palace overlooking the holy Kaaba in Mecca, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef walked straight into a cold, calculated ambush.

Within hours, his bodyguards were disarmed, his communications were cut, his medications were withheld, and he was forced at gunpoint to sign away his claim to the throne. Outside those walls, his ruthless younger cousin, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), orchestrated a silent coup that dismantled decades of royal tradition and consolidated absolute personal power.

From surviving Al-Qaeda's most chilling body-cavity bombing to being secretly stripped of his billion-dollar empire, suspended by his ankles in desert prisons, and abandoned by the Trump White House—this documentary uncovers the declassified story behind the purge, detention, and tragic downfall of the prince who was one step away from the throne.
