My Fiancé – Jamal Khashoggi

Hatice Cengiz and journalist Jamal Khashoggi were planning their wedding when his death at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul became international news.

On the 2nd October 2018 Hatice Cengiz and journalist Jamal Khashoggi visited the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. The purpose of their visit was to collect some papers they needed to get married. They had only known each other for months but quickly realized they wanted to spend their lives together. Hatice waited outside the Consulate, dreaming of their wedding, but Jamal never came out of that building. What happened to him became worldwide news. Now, 18 months later, the international uproar has died down but for Hatice life is forever changed.

In 1974, Australian concert producer Robert Raymond got the gig of his life – organising the comeback tour of his musical idol, Frank Sinatra. But when his opening night performance caused a scandal, Sinatra found himself caught in a stand-off… and Robert Raymond had the biggest test of his career – how to get Sinatra back on stage?
