00:07 This is generally the view of people,
00:09 "Oh, we don't know much about Assange."
00:11 But you should know,
00:13 because whether you know it or not,
00:15 he is fighting for you.
00:16 For your courage and leadership and tenacity
00:20 in journalism and publishing.
00:22 Since 2010,
00:24 Assange has been held in progressively narrower,
00:27 darker, colder and crueler spaces.
00:31 He has been detained since the 7th of December 2010
00:35 in one form or another.
00:37 And we are now here after years of imprisonment.
00:43 WikiLeaks is a non-state hostile intelligence service.
00:48 I think the man is a high-tech terrorist.
00:50 A high-tech terrorist.
00:51 A traitor, a treasonist.
00:52 He has to answer for what he has done.
00:55 [Music]
00:58 Assange faces up to 175 years in prison
01:01 for publishing classified documents exposing U.S. war crimes.
01:04 The U.S. government narrative about Julian is a complete fraud.
01:08 It is a complete fraud from A to Z.
01:12 Julian took on the most powerful countries in the world.
01:16 Basically all of them.
01:18 [Music]
01:21 We now have confirmed that there were plans to kidnap Julian
01:24 here in the centre of London or even assassinate him.
01:28 No one who instigated that illegal and immoral war
01:31 has been brought to justice.
01:33 But the great truth teller sits behind bars.
01:37 If wars can be started by lies,
01:40 peace can be started by truth.
01:43 Julian Assange is a hero.
01:45 What if everything we thought we knew about somebody was a lie?
01:51 Would we be willing to go on a new journey of understanding?
01:56 This is a story of deception, lies, bravery
02:02 and a man who risked everything to bring the truth to light.
02:08 Mr. Assange shows all the symptoms that are typical for a person
02:12 that has been exposed to psychological torture over a prolonged period of time.
02:17 He looked at me intensely and said, "I hate to say this."
02:22 He then hesitated, visibly troubled and searching for words.
02:26 And then he finally said, "Please, save my life."
02:32 [Music]
02:36 May future generations have the ability to speak without restraint.
02:41 May our children and their children know truth
02:44 and have access to information that leads to justice.
02:48 Wherever Julian goes, free speech goes with him.
02:53 If there is a bird that is about to take flight,
02:56 stretch her wings and rule the skies,
02:59 may it be a pista and no longer a bald eagle.
03:05 If you think Assange is a traitor, he's a rapist, he's a narcissist, he's a hacker,
03:11 I don't blame you because you have been deceived.
03:15 And if you think you've not been deceived,
03:17 that's normal because otherwise it wouldn't be deception.
