Assassins of Iraq: Who Killed Hisham al-Hashimi?

On 6 July 2020, Hisham al-Hashimi, security adviser to Iraq's prime minister, was murdered outside his home in Baghdad.
As a fearless critic of the men of violence on both sides of Iraq’s sectarian divide, Hisham was not short of enemies. But who killed him, and why? In the aftermath of the murder, Mais Mohammed sets out to solve the mystery of Hisham’s assassination.
In the course of the investigation, the film exposes the actions of the terror groups undermining an independent, non-sectarian Iraq - the so-called Islamic State and the Iranian-backed Shia militias. With the help of government insiders and a member of the murder investigation team, we learn who killed Hisham al-Hashimi.
