The Six Billion Dollar Man: a documentary about the Julian Assange saga

Equipped with privileged access to the WikiLeaks archives, Eugene Jarecki now ex-

plores the saga of Julian Assange, founder of this non-governmental organization in 2006, intended to publish classified documents. Assange, an icon of the right to information, has been deprived of freedom many times since 2010, dating back to revelations of

American war crimes. After being incarcerated in 2019 in the United Kingdom, he was

charged for espionage and was the subject of a request for extradition to the United

States. He appeared before an American court in the Mariana Islands in 2024, before

being released and free to go back to Australia.
