Activist and agitator or threatened journalist? The future of Julian Assange – and for many, of investigative journalism as such – is decided in the British courts. If finally extradited to the United States, the WikiLeaks founder faces a sentence of up to 175 years for alleged computer fraud and dissemination of secret documents. For his lawyer, the pioneer of Universal Justice, Baltasar Garzón, much more is at stake than the freedom of a rebel publisher. Leading Assange’s legal team, the Spanish lawyer warns that the growing influence of intelligence services puts freedom of information at risk and, with it, the very essence of democracy. The documentary explores this issue from the perspective of the legal team.
