In a groundbreaking move, the highly anticipated Australian documentary, “The Trust Fall: Julian Assange,” has secured screenings at the country’s three major cinema chains: Event Cinemas, Hoyts, and Village Cinemas. Starting today, on March 6, 2024, audiences can catch this compelling film at these leading venues. Notably, the documentary is currently captivating audiences in hundreds of cinemas across Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
This critically acclaimed production, directed by Australian filmmaker Kym Staton, marks his directorial debut and is gaining widespread recognition for its exploration of the situation, treatment, and broader implications surrounding Julian Assange—the most renowned political prisoner of our era. The film features an exclusive, never-seen-before interview with a victim of the notorious Collateral Murder incident.
Despite being the most decorated journalist of the modern age, Assange has spent nearly five years in solitary confinement at England’s Belmarsh Prison. His incarceration stems from his exposure of U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. The documentary sheds light on his journey and the imminent decision from the U.K. High Court Judges regarding his potential extradition to the U.S. Facing charges under the U.S. Espionage Act, Assange confronts the daunting prospect of a 175-year prison sentence.
Already making waves in the film industry, “The Trust Fall: Julian Assange” has clinched several awards, including Best Emerging Director at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival, Best First-Time Director at the Cine Paris Film Festival, and an official selection at the Warsaw Film Festival. This cinematic masterpiece promises to be a thought-provoking and award-winning exploration of one of the most significant figures in contemporary journalism.
