Synopsis
Rashash (رشاش, 2021) is a Saudi Arabian crime drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Drawn from real events, it traces the rise and eventual capture of Rashash Al-Otaibi — a drug trafficker and killer who operated across the country during the 1970s and eluded authorities for years.
He stayed ahead by knowing the terrain: evidence dissolved, witnesses went silent, and investigators kept arriving too late. The series follows both sides of the hunt — the man who understood how to disappear and the police who spent years building a case solid enough to stick. Director Colin Teague keeps the pacing deliberate, closer to a procedural than a thriller, which fits: this was a slow, unglamorous pursuit, and the show doesn't pretend otherwise.
One of the first Saudi productions to dramatise a real criminal case at this scale, Rashash gives international audiences a ground-level look at a country and an era rarely put on screen. Stream it online on iFILM.
