Today, Assange is hailed by some as a free-speech hero and by others as a traitor and terrorist. In this documentary, Assange’s rise and fall are paralleled with that of Bradley Manning, the brilliant yet troubled young U.S. solider who downloaded hundreds of thousands of documents from classified U.S. Military and diplomatic servers, revealing the behind-the-scenes workings of the government’s international diplomacy and military strategy.<\/p>\n
