Freedom Of Speech...





Incase the rock you've been living under is without internet then you may not who or what Wikileaks is and all the trouble they have been getting the governments of the world into. Wikipedia describes Wikileaks as "an international new media non-profit organisation that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous news sources and news leaks. Its website, launched in 2006, is run by The Sunshine Press.[4] Within a year of its launch, the site claimed a database that had grown to more than 1.2 million documents.[8] The organisation has described itself as having been founded by Chinese dissidents, as well as journalists, mathematicians, and start-up company technologists from the United States, Taiwan, Europe, Australia, and South Africa.[4] Julian Assange, an Australian Internet activist, is generally described as its director.[9]" This 4 part documentary addresses a few of the questions anybody with even a remote interest in global politics would be asking about the organisation; Where is the secretive organization heading? Stronger than ever, or broken by the US? Who is Assange: champion of freedom, spy or rapist? What are his objectives? What are the consequences for the internet?
