With a unique and independent access to a worldwide campaign and to the Ecuadorian embassy where WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange found his refuge, the film witnesses the struggle for the control of information, the growing influence of intelligence services, the role of the mass media, and the difficult balance of individual rights and state security.
