Exclusive rough-cut of first in-depth documentary on WikiLeaks and the people behind it!
From summer 2010 until now, Swedish Television has been following the secretive media network WikiLeaks and its enigmatic Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange.
Reporters Jesper Huor and Bosse Lindquist have traveled to key countries where WikiLeaks operates, interviewing top members, such as Assange, new Spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson, as well as people like Daniel Domscheit-Berg who now is starting his own version – Openleaks.org!
Where is the secretive organization heading? Stronger than ever, or broken by the US? Who is Assange: champion of freedom, spy or rapist? What are his objectives? What are the consequences for the Internet?

This mainstream film ignores much while it hypes Weakileaks as a weapon.
Truth is the real weapon.
9/11 Truth is for myself the litmus test as to judging Assange a flawed proponent of truth.
Thus far, Wikileaks revelations, despite showing us how cheap human life is viewed by our rulers, reveals many convenient truths on our rulers’ behalf.
I can’t wait to see what openleaks.org or similar sites will become.
I continue to concur with George Carlin’s observation that consensus reality should always be questioned.
