What's a state-sponsored assassination between friends? Reckoning with Jamal Khashoggi's murder & its implications for U.S.-Saudi relations

On the eve of the second anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, QI and Showtime Documentary Films will host a discussion about the implications of the assassination for U.S.-Saudi relations past, present, and future.

The discussion offers a sneak peak at Showtime’s Kingdom of Silence, the upcoming documentary that provides an in-depth look into the Washington Post journalist’s life, work, and murder against the backdrop of complex U.S.-Saudi relations.

Journalist Lawrence Wright and Yemeni activist Tawakkol Karman, both featured in the film, will join with Quincy Institute’s Annelle Sheline, in a conversation about the important questions the film raises about the future of the U.S.-Saudi relationship in the era of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s consolidation of power.
