Featured reviews
There's not much one can say about this documentary without chasing the very soul of the subject away, so to speak. Simply put, it is a vital detailing of the horrendous murder of an innocent man who spoke truth to power.
It's a rare thing to find a film of such vital contemporary importance. Every person who watches this is better informed about the world they live in and the power structures that govern - or seek to control - each and every one of us.
Pay no heed to negative reviewers, most if not all of which are almost certainly paid trolls with an agenda. This will be made clear in the film.

Watch it. This story deserves to be heard. Poses critical questions about freedom of speech and the role of governments.
Netflix lost a great movie choosing not to stream it.
documentaries will always be pain for someone, so netflix choose not to stand with the cause
For some people this is propaganda because it involves politics but lets keep in mind it's not about the history of Saudia or the past of Jamal, no. It's about the a certain event Jamal's assassination that's it. People were responsible there is some damming evidence.
"People with willful blindness can ignore the facts"
The review section is full of calling it one sided but let it be clear the other side has to have facts and nothing to do with past life of Saudia and Jamal then.
Think for yourself and don't concern yourself with others opinion reach a decision. As from a person where these kind of assassinations of journalists and common people are normal this very thought provoking
Please ignore the Saudi bots and read the unanimous rave reviews of recognized film critics.
Watch this brilliant film.
