Matt Sarnecki is a journalist, producer and filmmaker at the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. He has directed several documentaries broadcast throughout Europe and beyond. His documentary Killing Pavel, about the murder of investigative journalist Pavel Sheremet, won the Medal for Investigative Reporters and Editors in 2017 and the DIG Award (Italy) in 2018.
Here’s what the director says about “The Murder of a Journalist”: “All my life I have dedicated myself to investigating and making films about organized crime and corruption. Jan deals with the same topics, but on a more dangerous level, and pays for it with his life. I’m not arrogant enough to think I’m finishing Jan’s work – journalists have done that – but I hope I can show how important his story is to the world.”
