The Story Behind Assange and Wikileaks

We steal secrets: the story of Wikileaks

Julian Assange and wikileaks have both had an important impact on politics, government and how digital intersects with both. So this documentary film should make for interesting viewing.

Here’s the trailer

Wikileaks themselves don’t seem to be overly happy with their portrayal in the film, but that might make the film even more interesting.

The film goes on limited release in Ireland on July 12th.
