Luigi Mangione Doc In The Works From ‘How To Rob A Bank’ & ‘Amanda Knox’ Filmmaker Stephen Robert Morse

American-British filmmaker Stephen Robert Morse, best known for his work on popular non-fiction features like Netflix’s Amanda Knox and How to Rob a Bank is developing his own feature documentary on the suspected UnitedHealthcare killer Luigi Mangione.

Morse, a two-time Emmy nominee, will direct the feature, which producers told us will examine the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the aftermath through the perspectives of all those affected, including the involved families and Mangione himself. “This case is complex and raises important questions about vigilantism, the devastating cost of a privatized healthcare system, and the inevitability of violence when peaceful change is seen as impossible,” Morse told us this afternoon. “My goal is to present a balanced exploration of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s assassination, showing all sides of the story while respecting the profound loss of life and its impact on everyone involved.” Morse continued, “This documentary will be memed,” adding that the project aims to “foster a deeper understanding” of the case without losing sight of the human cost.

Also signed on to work on the doc with Morse is Matt Cianfrani, a Philadelphia-based DoP whose credits include United Shades of America for CNN, and Making Black America for PBS.

Like Morse and Mangione, he is a University of Pennsylvania alum. Investigative journalist Hannah Ghorashi, best known for the viral Airmail piece ‘The Grift, The Prince, and The Twist,’ has also signed on alongside documentary filmmaker Eli Eisenstein.
