Swedish public broadcaster SVT traces WikiLeaks from its early days publishing Church of Scientology manuals to its 2010 release of hundreds of thousands of American diplomatic cables. Reporters retrace the group's evolution from a loose collective of hackers and activists into a global publishing operation, using interviews with people who worked alongside Julian Assange and with journalists who covered the leaks as they broke. The film covers the Collateral Murder video showing a US helicopter attack in Baghdad, the Afghan and Iraq war logs, and the diplomatic cable dump, laying out how each leak was obtained, verified, and released to news organizations. It also follows the internal strain inside WikiLeaks itself, including defections and disputes over how the material should be handled. Assange appears on camera, but the film's real interest is the mechanics: how a small, largely anonymous network built the infrastructure to move classified material from source to headline, and what that did to governments used to controlling the story.
