The Dissident

The Dissident
A journalist – Jamal Khashoggi – from the Washington Post was critical of his beloved Saudia Arabia and the Crown Prince. After entering Saudia’s consulate in Istanbul on Oct 2, he never came out. His loved ones try to piece together the clues and find out that the very country he loved was at fault for his brutal murder.

With exclusive access to the evidence and the concerned individuals, this feature is an international thriller that reveals a global cover-up long after the headlines have faded. In a heartbreaking candid feature, Jamal sacrificed everything for the freedom of speech, that cannot silence him forever.
