The Dissident (2020) Movie Thread

[Snoops]

I watched this a couple of days ago and thought it was a great docufilm.

The untold story of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

Pretty scary really to think that The Saudis weren't really bothered that the world knew that they had taken him out. Quite sad that as we absolutely need The Saudis we can't condemn them too much in fear that the world's economy will collapse.

Anyway, I'd highly recommend watching it.

Seen a few documentaries on it. An absolute set up.

It was an horrific affair, Khashoggi was just going to get some paperwork renewed at the embassy and he was pounced on by the Saudi death squad.

His poor lass waiting outside for him while he was being hacked into pieces ?

He was going in to get a certificate so he could marry his fiancée in Turkey. They sawed him up and set fire to him in a tandoor in the Saudi Embassy.

This was basically swept away and they literally got away with murder. Why did they kill him?

I fancy giving this a watch. Disgusting the way it was all just swept under the carpet.

Fogel was on the Joe Rogan podcast a couple of weeks ago, well worth listening to on Spotify.

He kept speaking out against The Saudi Regime. He and a mate were about to launch a chat show exposing the likes of Bin Salman. He was basically a political dissident.

This is now available on Amazon Prime video in the UK.

I thought all the major streaming platforms were keeping their distance from this documentary but delighted to see it's now on Prime.
