‘The Six Billion Dollar Man’ Review: Timely Documentary Shows Julian Assange As Truth Teller Fighting Against Authoritarian Drift – Cannes Film Festival
'The Six Billion Dollar Man' review: documentary on Julian Assange, directed by Eugene Jarecki, portrays Wikileaks founder as a truth teller.
Assange himself directed a documentary short, Collateral Murder, about the 2007 video Wikileaks released that showed a U.S. military helicopter crew opening fire on unarmed journalists and civilians in Iraq. The Six Billion Dollar Man addresses many of the criticisms that have been leveled at Assange over the years – for instance, that his website recklessly released unredacted information, without considering possible harm to individuals named in documents. Jarecki also reveals that casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, a big Trump backer, had his fingerprints on surveillance equipment installed in the Ecuadorian embassy in London to monitor Assange and record his voice at all times.
