The Man Who Exposed the CIA's Darkest Secrets

Dr.Docs' Take

This centers on the 2010 Collateral Murder video, the leaked footage of a US helicopter gunning down civilians in Baghdad, and the hacker who published it against every intelligence agency on Earth. I keep coming back to that clip because it is the moment abstraction became undeniable. Whatever you think of Assange, someone decided the public was not allowed to see that, and someone else disagreed. The cost he paid for that disagreement is the whole argument.

This documentary examines Julian Assange, the hacker who founded WikiLeaks and released the video of a US helicopter attack on civilians in Baghdad that shocked the world. It traces how he defied the CIA, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies by publishing their secrets, and the long fight that followed. The film weighs the questions of transparency, power and consequence around a divisive figure. A compelling watch on WikiLeaks, whistleblowing and the battle over state secrets.
