The Dissident
Directed by Bryan Fogel
IN THE wake of the release of a US intelligence report, which confirmed that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) ordered the murder of Washington Post columnist and Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi, comes a chillingly powerful and candid documentary on the questions — how, why and by whom — surrounding his assassination.
On October 2 2018 Khashoggi entered the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul to obtain a document to be able to remarry, and never came out — a plot straight out of a John Le Carre novel or a James Bond film.
