Alex Gibney to produce documentary on UnitedHealthcare CEO killing
Acclaimed documentarian plans documentary on murder of Brian Thompson and larger conversations it has inspired
Alex Gibney and Anonymous Content are planning a documentary project on the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, and the larger public conversation about health insurance companies that the crime inspired. The prolific film-maker’s company, Jigsaw Productions, will partner with Anonymous Content on the as yet untitled project about the dominant US news story of the month, since Thompson was fatally shot in midtown Manhattan on his way to an investor conference on 4 December. The multi-day manhunt for the alleged shooter – who engraved bullets with the words “delay”, “deny” and “depose”, though to refer to insurance companies’ tactics to avoid paying claims – culminated in the arrest of 26-year-old Luigi Mangione in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 9 December.
