“Kuciak, Killing of a Journalist” is a gripping documentary that unravels the chilling murder of Slovak journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée, Martina Kušnírová. Their deaths sparked the largest protests in Slovakia since the fall of communism.

The story takes an unexpected turn when a source leaks the secret murder case file to Ján’s colleagues. This Danish co-produced documentary unravels the tale of oligarchs, crooked judges, egotistical businessmen, corrupt policemen, and unscrupulous politicians from a comprehensive and distant perspective. Sometimes, the sad facts are more harrowing than any sophisticated thriller...
