Julian Assange: The Price of Truth

For the past 10 years, Première Lignes has investigated Julian Assange and the WikiLeaks network. In their first film in 2011, they interviewed Assange and his team to profile these new transparency activists who aimed to disrupt citizens’ relationship with information. In 2013, they interviewed Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he described confronting a society immobilised by authoritarian abuses. At the time, he had no idea that he was going to spend seven years between four walls, under constant surveillance. The decision not to extradite Julian Assange to the US is unlikely to be the end of his long struggle. Today, Assange and WikiLeaks are at a turning point in their story.
