10 Journalists MURDERED While Investigating in the 70s-80s | True Crime Documentary

Описание: In the 1970s and 1980s, journalism was more than a profession—it was a battlefield. Ten brave journalists paid the ultimate price for seeking truth, exposing corruption, and giving voice to the voiceless. From car bombs in Phoenix to execution-style shootings on American streets, these cases reveal the dark side of press freedom.

This documentary chronicles the lives and tragic deaths of: ✅ Ruben Salazar - Killed by law enforcement during a peaceful protest ✅ Don Bolles - Car bombed for investigating organized crime ✅ Maurice Williams - Murdered during the Hanafi Siege ✅ John A. Kelly - Caught in the Blackfriars Massacre ✅ Bill Stewart - Executed on camera in Nicaragua ✅ Duong Trong Lam - Assassinated by anti-communist extremists ✅ Nguyen Dam Phong - Killed in his own home ✅ Alan Berg - Targeted by white supremacists ✅ Henry Liu - Murdered by a foreign government on US soil ✅ Tap Van Pham - Burned alive in an arson attack

These weren't accidents. These weren't random acts of violence. These were targeted killings designed to silence the truth. Watch as we uncover the investigations they never finished, the stories they never got to tell, and the legacies they left behind.
