Ithaka the Movie

Ithaka wins #Audience #Award and #Best #Documentary

'The campaign to free #JulianAssange takes on #intimate #dimensions in this documentary portrait of an elderly man’s fight to save his son. Arguably the world’s most famous #political #prisoner, #WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is a figure pretty much everybody has an opinion about; perhaps more importantly, he serves as the emblem of an #international arm wrestle over #freedom of #journalism, #government #corruption and #unpunished #war-crimes. For his #family members who face the prospect of losing him forever to the #abyss of the #US #justice #system, however, this #David-and-Goliath struggle is #personal – and, with his #health declining in a #British #maximum-security #prison and #American government #prosecutors pulling out all the stops to #extradite him, the #clock-is-ticking.'
