Deep in the Saudi desert, young thrill-seekers at jihadi boot camp sign up to a plot to overthrow the Saudi government. They detonate three horrific car-bombs at Western compounds in downtown Riyadh and become embroiled in a nail-biting game of cat and mouse with government forces. As their plans unravel, they resort to ever more brutal tactics. Exposing the dark side of the human soul, Path of Blood reveals Al Qaeda as you've never seen it before. Using a treasure trove of Al Qaeda home-movie footage captured by the security services, this haunting documentary film shows how brainwashed idealism and the youthful pursuit of adventure can descend into madness and carnage.

One of my all time favorites.
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Blistering performances.
Really revealing film, very memorable. Definitely jump started a lot of conversation afterwards.
Absolutely gripping documentary and it shows you how crazy the people are. Probably one of the best documentaries I have seen in a very long time.
An amazing look into the Jihadists that usually have a nameless and faceless presence. They seemed more like misguided youths similar to Antifa or the far left in America. However their heavy doses of fundamental Islam makes them even more willing to wreak havoc and cruelty for what they believe is a greater good. Must watch.
This film tells the story of Al Qaeda members operating in their home country and the Saudi government's efforts to defeat them. No talking heads, just extraordinary, compelling footage, both seized from Al Qaeda and shot by the Saudi security forces.
