Our weekly documentary film curated by the editorial team at 21WIRE
Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has been a polarizing figure for over a decade, exposing classified documents and correspondence that shed light on America’s wars, politicians, and corporations. Despite being hailed as a champion of transparency by some, he faces fierce opposition from the US government, which seeks to extradite and prosecute him under the Espionage Act, potentially sentencing him to 175 years in prison. After his eviction from Ecuador’s London embassy, Assange prepares to fight for his freedom in a high-stakes legal battle.
While Assange’s controversial actions have drawn both praise and condemnation, his personal life remains largely elusive to the public. RTD correspondent Konstantin Rozhkov embarks on a journey to uncover Assange’s inner thoughts and motivations by speaking with his closest friends, family members, and former colleagues, providing a deeper understanding of the man behind the headlines.
