A day after Bryan Fogel’s documentary “The Dissident” about the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi found a buyer and released a trailer, Showtime has released a trailer for its own Khashoggi documentary, “Kingdom of Silence.”
Showtime has also set a release date for “Kingdom of Silence” on October 2, the second anniversary of Khashoggi’s death.
“Kingdom of Silence” is directed by “Dirty Wars” and “16 Shots” director Rick Rowley and is executive produced by Alex Gibney and author Lawrence Wright, and while it too examines the details surrounding Khashoggi’s death at the hands of the Saudi Arabia regime, this film focuses more on the complicated relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States.
