The Dissident is one of the most important films that I've seen in years. It is about so much more than a monarch's power to execute a dissident, which is a human rights issue of global concern. The story details the life of a Saudi journalist (Omar) living in Quebec as he reconstructs Jamal Khashoggi's fight for freedom of expression and freedom of speech... regardless of the constant threat of assassination. Must see...

Absolutely outstanding. Wonderful story telling with a stellar cast. Turn off your phone and grab a treat.
