[Sheffield/Doc '22] Julian Assange's journey is shown through the eyes of his father, John Shipton, an activist by force, whom we see giving interviews, receiving support from strangers, sometimes tired of travel in Europe. A trajectory of more than ten years still not resolved in which US insists on punishing freedom of the press. A notable film in its personal view and its journalistic approach.

Had the potential to be just that little bit better. Unfortunately the programme was too slow and needed to create some atmosphere be ause the subject matter is vital to present day political discussion. Assange started as a darling of the left and without doing anything political to shift his message it appears to be the tight wing now doing the most to get his message out there. It shows how much things changed in such a short period. Covid and lockdowns have played a major part in this swap of allegiance. It is the right wing now calling out the excess of capitalism when it comes to the profits made in lockdown by big pharma and others. It is the right wing now attacking the state and the biggest swap is the right now being the most vocal anti-war voices. How can Tucker Carlson sound more radical than voices of the so-called left who support the war in Ukraine and are not supporting free speech?
