Assassins

About the movie

The mysterious murder of North Korean royal family member Kim Jong-nam in Malaysia sparks a captivating global investigation. At the center of the story, two women are on trial for the murder. Are the women ruthless assassins or political pawns in a twisted game? The investigation goes far beyond the headlines, probing further into each woman’s upbringing, and what led them to participate in an alleged prank show that ended with Kim Jong-nam dead.
Assassins premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2020, and questions every angle of this murder case, from human trafficking to high-level political espionage to the inner dynamics of the North Korean royal family.
