The documentary show True Life is one of the only reasons why I still occasionally watch MTV. Rather than being a glamorized “reality” show, it does a great job of diving into the world of interesting twenty-somethings.
If there’s one thing you can learn from this video, it’s to be grateful you weren’t born in Saudi Arabia.
Who knew dating, playing music, or wearing colorful clothing could be such a struggle in today’s world? Though there is much wealth in the region, living under strict Islamic-law is certainly not helping the progression of Saudi Arabia one bit.
Besides the absence of women’s rights, the most heartbreaking part of this video had to be the part when the metal band was denied their performance they worked so hard for. I hope change comes soon.
