The film explores how a nation of motor enthusiasts reacts to this electric future and follows the team responsible for hosting the massive race and concert event. Electric Kingdom captures a series of firsts in the traditionally closed-off nation. The first women to drive an electric race car in Saudi, the first Western Concert in Saudi Arabia and the first of what will be a multi-year race series hosted in the Unesco heritage site of Ad Diriyah.
