Filmed with the startling immediacy of unfolding history, Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney's We Steal Secrets : The Story of WikiLeaks details the creation of Julian Assange's controversial website, which facilitated the largest security breach in U.S. history. Hailed by some as a free-speech hero and by others as a traitor and terrorist, the enigmatic Assange's rise and fall are paralleled with that of Pfc. Bradley Manning, the brilliant, troubled young soldier 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. In seeking to expose abuse in the corridors of power, Assange and Manning were undermined by forces within and without, as well as by their own human failings. We Steal Secrets : The Story of WikiLeaks is a riveting, multi-layered tale about transparency in the information age and our ever-elusive search for the truth.

A non-stop scary and disturbing and crazy expose that is so great it should have been nominated for the Oscar. A wild documentary that is one of the best ones of the 2010s and of 2013 along with Blackfish. I believe i've only seen 2 documentaries from 2013 those two but anyway We Steal Secrets is just great.

Assange, himself, is a worthy subject. The line may be grey, but when the ACLU sticks up for freedom of speech for the KKK, this movie is right on target. Yes, the web is new territory, but an empire that poses as the world's greatest democracy desperately needs Julian Assange to put it in its place. No great empire has not fallen, when greed and heinous conscienceless behavior is seen for what it is. There'd be no fear of the secrets of war, if we were at peace.

Not worth watching even if was free. Completely inaccurate and gross misinformation. Much like fox news...
