The untold story of the murder that shook the world.

A sobering investigative documentary that reconstructs a real-world political assassination and its cover-up, driven by journalistic inquiry and the search for truth amid state power.
When Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi disappears after entering Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul, his fiancée and dissidents around the world are left to piece together the clues to a brutal murder and expose a global cover up perpetrated by the very country he loved.
