Oscar Winner, Bryan Fogel, Made a Khashoggi Documentary, 'The Dissident" and Streaming Services Didn’t Want It.
“They are asking: ‘What if I put this film out in Egypt? What happens if I release it in China, Russia, Pakistan, India?’ All these factors are coming into play, and it’s getting in the way of stories like this.” It seems like now more than ever, nearly every media company is trying their hardest to appease these kinds of markets, ethics be damned.

TIL of Adnan Khashoggi, a successful Saudi businessman who, among other business, would bring together US arms companies and the Saudi Government, and make a commission on deals. He became so rich he had a fleet of private jets and his lavish lifestyle cost $250,000 a day just to maintain.
After Khashoggi ran into financial problems he sold the yacht to the Sultan of Brunei, who in turn sold it for US$29 million to Donald Trump, who sold it for US$20 million[12] to Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal as part of a deal to keep his Taj Mahal casino out of bankruptcy. LOL. So Trump bought it, then sold it at a loss to prevent another bankruptcy. Best businessman ever indeed. More on reddit.com
