"Unlawful Killing" Film To Show Princess Diana Death Photo At Cannes Film Festival

British actor and director Keith Allen will premiere his film “Unlawful Killing” this week at Cannes Film Festival. The film will reportedly show Princess Diana’s death photo after the fatal crash that took her life and boyfriend Dodi al Fayed in 1997. Keith Allen asserts in the film that there was a massive cover up from the royal family following Princess Diana’s death. Dodi al Fayed’s father Mohamed al-Fayed who partially funded the film has long maintained a conspiracy in his son’s death. Keith describes the film “Unlawful Killing” to UK’s Guardian,

Unlawful Killing is not about a conspiracy before the crash, but a provable conspiracy after the crash. A conspiracy organized not by a single scheming arch-fiend, but collectively by the British establishment–judges, lawyers, politicians, police chiefs, secret services, even newspaper editors–all of whom have been appointed to their positions because they are “a safe pair of hands.” Just as compass needles all point north without being told to, so these people instinctively know what is expected of them when the state’s interests are under threat and they act accordingly, quietly suppressing uncomfortable evidence or undermining the credibility of witnesses whose evidence contradicts the official narrative.

Keith Allen is certainly capitalizing on the increased interest in the royal family following Prince William’s wedding late last month. The details surrounding Princess Diana’s death continue to split followers and conspiracy theorist down the middle. Keith Allen will no doubt continue to stir the pot with this film.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
