Our weekly documentary film is curated by the editorial team at 21WIRE.
For the past 10 years, Premiere Lignes investigated Julian Assange and the WikiLeaks network. In their first film in 2011, they interviewed Julian Assange and his team, profiling transparency activists aiming to disrupt traditional information systems. In 2013, they interviewed Assange again inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he described a society petrified by authoritarian excesses that he felt obliged to confront. At the time, Assange had no idea that he was going to spend seven years between four walls, watched by surveillance cameras. During the past decade, Wikileaks has come under constant pressure from the U.S. government. But the site continued to publish compromising documents that illuminate and shape our world. Today, Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are at a turning point in their history. Watch:
