The Dissident
From Academy Award-Winning director Bryan Fogel (ICARUS), The Dissident is a critically acclaimed edge-of-your-seat, adrenaline-filled thriller that plays out at the highest levels of power, exposing the labyrinth of deceit behind the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Now I know @wolfofgates
Well done doco. I did hear about Jamal Khashoggi in the news here but didn't know the real reason behind it or what was really going on in Saudi Arabia. Detailed and straight to the point.
Powerful and Credible @Xtothezee99
Fascinating and compelling work from the filmmaker of the Oscar-winning documentary, Icarus. Fear of political retribution from the Saudis meant it almost didn't find distribution. It's a gut-wrenching story, and a cautionary tale against autocratic control. Highly, highly recommended. Beware of the negative "reviews" here, which appear to support the accusations in the film of a government-backed online troll army; note that they don't actually discuss the documentary, but attack its subject instead. Maybe they should watch it first.
Epic @jayjaypertti
Just heard of this from Joe Rogan's podcast and rented it. Crazy stuff!!!
Not for everybody @naughtyepickenny
This isn't a happy documetnary. This is a real life tale of power, technology, love, and murder that wil leave you shocked. Bryan Fogel you have done it again! Excellent work
well done @sosamiami
So glad there I live in the USA. We are going through something here not as bad as there but a real reality check honestly.
