Risk Page #2

Synopsis: Filmed over six years, Risk (2016) is a character study that collides with a high stakes election year and its controversial aftermath. Cornered in a tiny building for half a decade, Julian Assange is undeterred even as the legal jeopardy he faces threatens to undermine the organization he leads and fracture the movement he inspired. Capturing this story, director Laura Poitras finds herself caught between the motives and contradictions of Assange and his inner circle.

My detentions have become

more aggressive

Since I began

filming wikileakes.

The u. S. Agent at heathrow

wouldn't tell me his name

Or who he worked for.

At jfk they collected

all my electronics

And asked if I had

any hidden usb drives.

When I got home,

my apartment door was open.

Did I forget to close it

Or are they sending me

a message?

Can we start?

You need to be able to talk

about exciting projects

Without giving anything away.

Those of you who can,

'cause some of you

want to be sort of covert.

- Cover stories

for various people.

- That's what he means.

- That's what I'm talking about.

- So joe and sarah are already

very publicly visible.

They go as joe and sarah.

- I want each person

to give their story,

And you can correct it,

because then we hear it

From them,

and then if other people ask us

Who they are,

we've heard it in their voice.

Who are you?

I'm a swedish journalist,

And I'm a good friend.

- Okay.

- Renata, what's your name?

Are you renata?

- I'm renata,

I'm from guatemala.

I'm lawyer and I have been

researching the last years

About freedom of information,

human rights issues in general,

And many of the issues

I work with

Converge with the issues

of the organization.

- But are you a lawyer

for julian?

Are you a lawyer for wikileaks?

Are you-what?

- What should I say?

I don't know.

- I think you should say that

you are...

A lawyer for wikileaks.

- Okay.

- Ediza?

Uh, my name is ediza.

- I would like

to introduce jacob appelbaum,

The speaker of wikileaks.

He's an independent

security specialist.

- Thank you so much

for having me.

I really appreciate it.

I guess I'd like to start off

By saying that

the best indicator

For telling the future

is to look at the present

And to understand

how the past informs

On the present.

So, for example,

A major security threat

is internet filtering

And censorship,

and several people

On this panel represent

companies that

During the revolution,

they censored the internet

Quite heavily.

Most respectfully,

Te data blocking twitter.

I was actually accessing

computer networks

From the United States

that were located here in egypt,

And now you look

at the pamphlets around here,

You see that

the companies at ict,

And I mean this

with all due respect,

Are saying that they powered

the revolution.

What they actually powered

was the regime,

And now that the regime

has fallen,

They want to exploit

the revolution

For corporate profits.

- Jacob,

can you define censorship

In your terminology?

- Absolutely.

So, censorship in this case

restricting access

To a particular website.

I had a list of all of
