Julian Assange: A Modern Day Hero? (2011)

Profile of the controversial founder of the whistleblower website Wikileaks. Born in Australia, Assange came to prominence on the back of Wikileaks' increasing influence and willingness to publish secret documents from large corporations, the US army and even diplomatic cables. Lauded by some as a defender of free speech and the right to hold power to account, attacked by others as an 'information terrorist', this documentary aims to provide a look at the man behind the myth.
