Synopsis

Since launching in 2006, website WikiLeaks has offered people the opportunity to anonymously publish - or 'leak' information they believe should be public knowledge. Unlike mainstream media such as newspapers and television stations, WikiLeaks is not-for-profit, so it doesn't rely on government funding or advertising revenue from big companies. Consequently, the website is full of classified documents that have embarrassed many senior politicians and business people. Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney investigates the WikiLeaks phenomenon and its founder Julian Assange, examining how the global flow of information is changing.
