Journeyman Pictures' Latest Project Shines a Spotlight on Freedom of Speech and Press
The stage is set for a deep dive into the world of journalistic integrity and the cost of truth with the upcoming release from Journeyman Pictures, "THE TRUST FALL; JULIAN ASSANGE." This poignant documentary promises to traverse the intricate and often perilous landscape that whistleblowers navigate, through the lens of one of the most controversial figures in modern media: Julian Assange.
In the confines of Belmarsh Prison, Assange's voice has transcended walls and wires to become a symbol of the fight for free speech. Despite being shackled away from the world, the explosive revelations of WikiLeaks in 2010, under Assange's guidance, have spurred a global debate that continues to rage fiercely. "THE TRUST FALL; JULIAN ASSANGE" aims to dissect this ongoing saga, examining the immense pressures faced by those who dare to expose inconvenient truths.
Kym Staton emerges as a fresh voice in documentary filmmaking, clinching the Best Emerging Director accolade at the Melbourne Documentary Festival. His film confronts the audience with a burning question: How has one man come to bear the sins of the establishment? The narration boasts a constellation of stars—Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine, MIA, and Susan Sarandon—each lending their voice to this critical narrative that dissects the state of press freedom in the Western world.
This is not just a film; it's a clarion call for vigilance in an age where press freedom is cornered by shadows. "THE TRUST FALL; JULIAN ASSANGE" is a rallying cry for the public, academics, and cinephiles alike, beckoning audiences worldwide to festival screenings and theatrical releases. It's more than urgent watching—it's a testament to the enduring power of the press and the relentless pursuit of truth.
