🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This documentary functions as a gripping political thriller where every interviewee could be part of the conspiracy. The filmmakers masterfully balance reverence for the victim with a ruthless dissection of the power structures he challenged.
What lingers after the final frame is a chilling meditation on the cost of truth in an era where journalism remains under threat. The questions resonate far longer than any easy answers. — MovieFinder Editorial
