What happens

Ice Cold: Murder, Coffee and Jessica Wongso is a 2023 Indonesian-Singaporean true crime documentary film directed by Rob Sixsmith, based on the 2016 murder of Wayan Mirna Salihin, which was allegedly committed by her friend Jessica Kumala Wongso. The film presents the perspectives of various people involved in the case, including Salihin's family members, Wongso's defense, the trial's public prosecutors, witnesses, experts, and journalists. It also comments on the nature of Indonesia's criminal justice system, which those opposing Wongso's conviction deemed flawed. The film was released on Netflix two years after principal photography, and brought the case back into public attention, leading many to question the validity of Wongso's conviction.
