The Story
Product Description
A documentary that details the creation of Julian Assange's
controversial website, which facilitated the largest security breach in
U.S. history. Filmed with the startling immediacy of unfolding history,
Academy Award-winning director Alex Gibney’s We Steal Secrets: The
Story of Wikileaks details the creation of Julian Assange’s
controversial website, which facilitated the largest security breach in
U.S. history. Hailed by some as a free-speech hero and others as a
traitor and terrorist, the enigmatic Assange’s rise and fall are
paralleled with that of PFC Bradley Manning, the brilliant, troubled
young soldier who downloaded hundreds of thousands of documents from
classified U.S. military and diplomatic servers, revealing the
behind-the-scenes workings of the government’s international diplomacy
and military strategy.
