Synopsis

The heady, early days of Wikileaks to its abrupt end after a series of controversial and history changing info leaks. The website's overnight success brought instant fame to its principal architects, but as their power expanded across the globe, Daniel Domscheit-Berg grew increasingly disillusioned with Julian Assange's questionable tactics and ethics. The rift between the two friends became irreparable and their ideological differences tore them apart, but not before they revolutionized, for better and worse, the flow of information to news media and the world at large.

Awards: 2013: Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF): Nominated for Audience Award
