029 | The Trust Fall: Julian Assange, Wikileaks and Free Speech | Kym Staton
This time I speak with Kym Staton, Award winning film director having started with Films for Change, a way to host, promote and distribute documentaries the globe over. We're going to be discussing the documentary he has made - The Trust Fall - Julian Assange and the implications the Assange trial has for press freedoms, global freedom of speech & democracy at large, or the glaring indictment against democracy.
At the end of this episode I play the collateral murder video for posterity.
