Alain E @AlainE Jun 16 The script is very unfocused. Too much information about the Daniel character and minimal description of what happened after the disclosures. All we see are the different journalists debating what to do with the information. In the end people are protesting in favor of Assange, but we are not told why. After Daniel destroyed the equipment was the website restored? Not mentioned. Obviously this is a story that would need a miniseries to be properly narrated, but this movie does not approach a satisfactory presentation. Finally, the fact that Assange eventually was used by the Russians is immaterial. The documents Wikileaks disclosed were not manipulated.

Overall not bad, I enjoyed it and its definitely better than the 35% Rotten Tomatoes score. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Aug 21 What a load of crap. This wasn't a champion of the 1st amendment, this was a stooge being used by Russia to smear the US. Hypocritical when you take into account the horrific atrocities he ignored from Russia.

I believe they are funded by our government. Their story on the Coutts border blockade was totally one sided. They lied about the men that were charged and only showed one side of the situation. The RCMPs side and our corrupt government and legal systems side. They didn't bother talking to people who were actually at the blockade or others that know the people that were arrested. Why is that?? Who paid for this broadcast? Hmmm....were they biased by the people who control them? When they find out the whole truth and nothing but the truth, will they own up and apologize to those involved and unjustly accused? I doubt it very much.
