The Trust Fall: Julian Assange – a new documentary on the WikiLeaks founder
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is still sitting in Belmarsh Prison awaiting the outcome of a High Court extradition hearing.

There he would face trial for the publication of thousands of classified US military documents relating to the war in Afghanistan and Iraq .
A new documentary looks at Assange’s case, with particular focus on infamous leaked footage published on WikiLeaks under the headline ‘Collateral Murder’. It shows a US air strike on Iraqi civilians and two Reuters journalists in 2007.
