IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Jamal Khashoggi
Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was critical of his beloved Saudi Arabia and of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's policies. On October 2, 2018, Khashoggi entered the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul and never came out. His fiancée and dissidents around the world are left to piece together clues to his brutal murder-and in their dogged quest for truth, they expose a global cover-up perpetrated by the very country he loved.
