Eugene Jarecki, director of Julian Assange film “The Six Billion Dollar Man,” has been awarded the first-ever Golden Globe Prize for Documentary. In deciding to award Jarecki, the jury highlighted how “his films combine the skills of a journalist with the voice of a poet.” They commended him for “balancing penetrating analysis with fearlessness, compassion and empathy.” They added: “He helps us broaden our view of what is right and wrong,” and said that “he is not afraid to look ‘under the hood’ of society and expose what is being rewired without our consent.” They felt overall that “Jarecki’s films deeply challenge our perspectives, and inspire us to defend our most fundamental freedoms.” At a time when truth is under pressure, Eugene’s work reminds us of the power of storytelling to provoke, enlighten, and ultimately defend democracy itself.
