\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \tAlex Gibney\u2019s Jigsaw Productions and Anonymous Content are planning a documentary project about the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.<\/p>\n
\tThe murder of the insurance company CEO has been dominating the news since Monday, Dec. 4, when Thompson was shot and killed in midtown Manhattan. A multiday manhunt followed for Thompson\u2019s killer, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, who was arrested on Dec 9 in Pennsylvania and has been charged with murder and is currently fighting extradition to New York City. <\/p>\n
\tWhen Mangione was arrested, police found a ghost gun, as well as a notebook with detailed plans of the killing, and a handwritten manifesto decrying the health insurance industry. It has been reported that Mangione had undergone surgery on his back. \t<\/p>\n
\tThe killing, which has inspired a mix of public reactions from horror to apathy, has sparked larger conversations about public frustrations with America\u2019s health insurance companies, healthcare costs and general denial of care.<\/p>\n
\tMonday\u2019s announcement laid out what the producers hope to tackle with the documentary: \u201cFrom the crime\u2019s seemingly meticulous execution to the alleged killer\u2019s manifesto and his Ivy League background to the public\u2019s unapologetic apathy towards the victim, the investigative deep dive will ask how killers are created, what this killing says about our society and the values we place on who lives and who dies.\u201d\u00a0 It is currently unclear who will be directing the project, or if the doc will be told in a feature or episodic format.<\/p>\n
\tThe Oscar-winning Gibney recently released The Bibi Files, an inside look into the corruption charges against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He is currently in production on a doc feature inspired by Salman Rushdie\u2019s memoir Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder and an Elon Musk documentary\u00a0Musk, the\u00a0latter of which is being produced by Anonymous Content. Anonymous and Jigsaw are also working on a George Orwell documentary Orwell.<\/p>\n
