The Six Billion Dollar Man

Premiering at Cannes, The Six Billion Dollar Man is a riveting, globe-spanning political thriller chronicling Julian Assange’s transformation from insurgent hacker to one of the most hunted men in the world.

Director Eugene Jarecki crafts a propulsive, deeply reported saga that moves from WikiLeaks’ explosive revelations to Assange’s dramatic asylum inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

With revelatory interviews and insider detail, the film untangles a web of international power plays involving the U.S., U.K., Sweden, and Ecuador. Gripping, complex, and urgently relevant, this high-stakes documentary captures a modern epic of secrecy, sovereignty, and the price of defiance.
