Muttawa | Fabula

Description

Muttawa religious police in Saudi Arabia wield dogmatic authority over public morality, brutally enforcing strict dress codes by barricading 17 schoolgirls inside a burning building, dooming them to suffocation and flames rather than permit 'improperly dressed' escape. Their zealous intervention ignites White House fury, transforming a classroom blaze into a global indictment of oppressive piety clashing with basic human survival.
