Review:
A very interesting look at the progression of WikiLeaks and the secrets business. A large part of the second half of the documentary focuses on Julian Assange and his downfall after the rape and sexual assault allegations from Sweden. Overall, it's a very interesting look at growth and change of a group that tried to share the truth to the people of the world. Definitely makes you think about some things.
