00:07 This is generally the view of people, "Oh, we don't know much about Assange."
00:11 Well, you should know, because whether you know it or not, he is fighting for you.
00:16 For your courage and leadership and tenacity in journalism and publishing.
00:22 Since 2010, Assange has been held in progressively narrower, darker, colder, and crueler spaces.
00:31 He has been detained since the 7th of December 2010 in one form or another.
00:38 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 treasonous...
00:52 He has to answer for what he has done.
00:55 [Music]
00:58 Assange faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing classified documents exposing U.S. war crimes.
01:05 The U.S. government narrative about Julian is a complete fraud.
01:09 It is a complete fraud from A to Z.
01:12 Julian took on the most powerful countries in the world. Basically all of them.
01:18 [Music]
01:21 We now have confirmed that there were plans to kidnap Julian here in the centre of London or even assassinate him.
01:28 No one who instigated that illegal and immoral war has been brought to justice.
01:33 But the great truth teller sits behind bars.
01:37 If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.
01:43 Julian Assange is a hero.
01:45 [Music]
01:47 If everything we thought we knew about somebody was a lie, would we be willing to go on a new journey of understanding?
01:56 This is a story of deception, lies, bravery and a man who risked everything to bring the truth to light.
02:09 Mr. Assange shows all the symptoms that are typical for a person 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 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, stretch her wings and rule the skies, may it be a pista and no longer a bald eagle.
03:04 If you think Assange is a traitor, he's a rapist, he's a narcissist, he's a hacker, I don't blame you because you have been deceived.
03:15 And if you think you've not been deceived, that's normal because otherwise it wouldn't be deception.
