THE LINE NEOM The $500 Billion Mistake They Don't Want You to See (Documentary 2026)

THE LINE NEOM was supposed to revolutionize how humans live. A 170-kilometer mirrored city rising 500 meters from the Saudi Arabian desert. Zero cars. Zero emissions. Nine million residents. But behind the stunning renders lies a catastrophic truth that no promotional video ever showed.

Every year, 2.1 billion migratory birds fly through the Red Sea Flyway—directly where THE LINE is being built. The mirror facade, designed to make the building "disappear," has become an invisible death trap. Birds cannot see glass. They see only reflected sky and desert. And they fly into it at 30 miles per hour.

In this documentary, we investigate:
⚫ Why mirrored glass kills over 1 billion birds annually worldwide
⚫ How THE LINE's thermal design creates deadly heat concentrations
⚫ The impossible maintenance nightmare of 34 million square meters of glass
⚫ What happened to the indigenous tribes forced from their land
⚫ Why construction was suspended in September 2025
⚫ The $8 trillion cost estimate that bankrupted the vision

From ecological disaster to engineering impossibility, from human rights violations to financial collapse—this is the complete story of how the world's most ambitious megaproject became its greatest cautionary tale.
