Ciné-ONU: THE KILLING OF A JOURNALIST
To mark World Press Freedom Day, the United Nations Information Service (UNIS) Vienna, in cooperation
with the Permanent Mission of the Slovak Republic to the UN, OSCE and other International Organisations in Vienna to the United
Nations (Vienna) invites you to the Ciné-ONU Vienna screening of the film “The Killing of a Journalist”.
A young investigative journalist and his fiancée are brutally murdered in their home in Slovakia. Their deaths inspire the biggest protests in Slovakia since the fall of communism. The story takes an unexpected turn when a source leaks the secret murder case file to the murdered journalist’s colleagues. It includes the computers and encrypted communications of the assassination’s alleged mastermind, a businessman closely connected to the country’s ruling party. Trawling these encrypted messages, journalists discover that their country has been captured by corrupt oligarchs, judges and law enforcement officials. A reckoning awaits.
