- Synopsis
- In June 2024, after fourteen years of house arrest and incarceration, Julian Assange, the Australian journalist the CIA had planned to kidnap or kill, was finally released from the UK&’s top security Belmarsh prison. Years of campaigning by his family and Australian politicians from across the political spectrum had finally paid off: Assange&’s plea bargain with the US Department of Justice produced the legal deal of the century. Instead of serving a possible 175-year jail sentence, Assange walked free. What changed former US President Joe Biden&’s mind after years of appeals and hearings? When WikiLeaks revealed evidence of American war crimes in Iraq, Biden had called Assange a &‘high tech terrorist&’. Why did Biden now believe the time was right to end the pursuit and to cut a deal? Andrew Fowler takes us inside the negotiations with the White House, revealing a startling story of false hope, courage, resolve and the extraordinary resilience of the person Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg called the Most Dangerous Man in the World.
