COLD CASE HAMMARSKJÖLD

In 1961, United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld was killed in a suspicious plane crash while en route to defuse a crisis in Congo. The diplomat’s advocacy for African postcolonial independence led many to conclude he had been assassinated by powerful enemies, but the case has remained unsolved for nearly 60 years. Enter filmmaker-provocateur Mads Brügger, whose unorthodox investigation uncovers a shocking, stranger-than-fiction conspiracy with global ramifications. Courtesy of Magnolia Pictures.
