Documentary / Crime
An investigative journalist pursuing a political conspiracy known as the Octopus is found dead in his hotel room. Decades later, new details emerge.


Photojournalist Christian Hansen continues the work of Danny Casolaro, a reporter who mysteriously died while investigating a major political conspiracy.

Through Danny's research, details surface of an alleged global government surveillance network. In 1981, a triple murder fuels suspicions.

Danny's investigation takes a turn when he uncovers a twisted web of organized crime that implicates the US intelligence community.

In his final days, Danny inches closer to answers — but his death raises more questions. Years later, Christian makes discoveries of his own.
