HBO Max Previews George Clooney-Produced Documentary The Art of Political Murder

"We knew we were on the right track when we started to receive the death threats."

HBO's true crime documentary series takes a look at the 1998 murder of Guatemalan human rights activist Bishop Juan Gerardi, an act which managed to shock the entire nation even after 36 years of civil war, and the dangerous chaos that followed a massively compromised crime scene and an investigation that resulted in terrifying backlash. 

The Art of Political Murder, executive produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov, premieres December 16 at 9:00 PM ET on HBO.
