Julian Assange has been called a free speech martyr by supporters and a reckless narcissist by critics, and this film sits in that argument rather than resolving it. It traces his path from WikiLeaks founder publishing classified US military and diplomatic cables to a man holed up in Ecuador's London embassy for years, and finally to a defendant fighting extradition to the United States on espionage charges. Interviews and archival news footage lay out the case for both sides: journalists and free-press advocates who see the prosecution as an attack on publishing itself, and detractors who point to his personal conduct and the real-world fallout of unredacted leaks. The film keeps returning to the same question underneath the personality clash, whether publishing government secrets in the public interest is journalism or a crime, and lets the people who worked with Assange, prosecuted him, or covered him for years make their own case on camera.
