Calendar – Past Event

It should have been the happiest day of their lives.  Instead, the 2005 wedding of Ashraf al-Khaled and his bride became a nightmare when a suicide bomber killed 27 members of their party in Amman, Jordan.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, al-Khaled vowed to break the silence in the Muslim community on a taboo subject, embarking on a mission to reveal the true cost of terrorism.  Oscar-nominated this year in the category of Best Documentary Short, Killing in the Name chronicles al-Khaled's quest when it debuts Wednesday, Sept. 14 (8:00-8:45 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO2.

Killing in the Name is directed by Jed Rothstein; producers, Liz Garbus, Rory Kennedy and Jed Rothstein; co-producer, Jessica Van Garsse; editor, Kate Taverna; director of photography, Tom Hurwitz; executive producer, Carie Lemack.
