A documentary that uncovers the collaboration between organisation WikiLeaks and mainstream media who participated in the publishing of classified government information airs on SABC3 on Sunday 13 October at 20h30.
The BBC production, WikiLeaks – Secrets and Lies, features exclusive interviews with controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and members of publications The Guardian, The New York Times and Der Spiegel who were involved in the massive public exposure of US Government secrets.
As the alleged source, Bradley Manning, stands trial for “aiding the enemy’ a powerful story of sex, lies, betrayal and possibly death unfolds.
Director Patrick Forbes focuses on facts and on those directly involved in the scandal, with few cinematic effects and outsider views. The story reveals divided ethics, deceptions and unsolved accusations in a chronological portrayal of events.
The documentary is produced by Mark Bentley and executive producer Nicolas Kent.
