Transcript
00:00Who are the people that decide press is going to be free or not free?
00:08Who decides what it means to be a journalist?
00:11We are entering a new stage in the human story, and it's not democracy.
00:16No one's talking about what's happening.
00:19Information warfare is warfare, and Julian Assange is engaged in warfare.
00:23WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is slapped with charges of espionage.
00:27I think the man is a high-tech terrorist.
00:29Two women in Stockholm have accused Mr. Assange of sexual assault.
00:33If he did it, I would like him to be prosecuted for it.
00:36There are serious allegations that were made against Julian Assange,
00:39and I think that they deserve to be investigated.
00:41It doesn't change a fucking thing about why he's in prison.
00:45Julian Assange and WikiLeaks gave a window into the reality of war.
00:50I had a good old dead bastard.
00:51We understood immediately that America was going to come for him.
00:54He said, the U.S. government will chase me to the ends of the earth and make my life hell.
00:59Well, it's a high-stakes game of cat and mouse as Julian Assange seeks asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy.
01:04Why is my story important?
01:08I'm part of the team that tortured Julian Assange.
01:11I investigate torture, but I didn't expect to find anything.
01:15The embassy was a refuge, but it started to turn into something quite sinister.
01:20He knew that people were spying on him.
01:22He knew what was going on around the embassy.
01:24The vehicles and the cameras.
01:25Hidden microphones.
01:27People following you.
01:28Come on, this is a fucking James Bond movie.
01:34Federal agents asked me to wear a wire when I was working with Julian.
01:38He was someone who I looked up to.
01:42But a fight with the Pentagon only ends one way.
01:49This call is from a person currently in a prison in England.
01:53Hey, this is Julian Assange.
01:55Every generation has an epic fight, and this is ours.
02:03It's the most important human rights case in the world.
02:07The killers, the bullies, the thieves, they will not only win,
02:11they will write the history that doesn't include any of their crimes.
02:15People understood what was coming, but we didn't listen.
02:18It's not really Julian Assange that is on trial here.
02:22It is this proposition that telling the truth is a crime.
02:27There we are.
02:40Monique is a crime in United States.
02:41It is a crime in the intelligence industry that they expected on the stealth aims.
02:43It's a crime that bugs the aressa on camera every day.
