The Six Billion Dollar Man

He was both praised and scolded, but everyone knew about WikiLeaks. This high-tech spy thriller opens a completely new perspective to the man that shook the world.

The Six Billion Dollar Man is a riveting investigation into Julian Assange, a lightning rod of contemporary journalism, whose 2024 release from prison has reignited the global debate on press freedom. With his initially modest start-up WikiLeaks in the mid-2000s, Julian Assange quickly grew into one of the biggest enemies of governments worldwide wanting to keep their operations shrouded in mystery.

With unprecedented access and previously unseen behind-the-scenes material, the film spans five continents, weaving groundbreaking new evidence into an international high-tech spy thriller of secrets, espionage, torture and murder.
