Assange Countdown to Freedom : Julian’s 50th Birthday: John Pilger

John Pilger, the award winning filmmaker/author/journalist , looks back at the last 10 years of captivity of political prisoner Julian Assange on the Wikileaks founder’s 50th birthday—spent for the 3rd straight year in isolation inside a small, dank cell in the notorious and squalid Belmarsh “dungeon.“ Pilger, a longtime close friend and fervent, tireless defender of Mr Assange, looks back at the persecuted journalist’s moral commitment to truth transparency. Pulger, whose 61 documentaries are archived in the British Library, bemoans the toll the past 2 years of confinement have had on Mr Assange and his family.
