who killed Alex odeh?
On October 11, 1985, a bomb killed Palestinian-American activist Alex Odeh at his Southern California office. More than forty years later, no one has been brought to justice — not because the evidence was lacking, but because the answers were never pursued.
Directors Jason Osder and William Lafi Youmans unravel a cold case that was never truly cold, tracing the assassination to American-born extremists and demanding a reckoning long overdue.
