Being a journalist has never been as dangerous as it is today, in a world where the defense of truth is under attack from all sides. This film traces the saga of Julian Assange, a contemporary icon of the right to information, whose recent release from prison has reignited the global debate on press freedom. Thanks to privileged access to Wikileaks footage and archives and never-before-seen evidence, this documentary takes the form of a high-tech international thriller.

Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) This is a partisan film, though perhaps its content demands it – after watching, it’s hard to fathom what an unpartisan version could possibly be. Rated: 3/5 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) You really could not make any of this up. Rated: 4/5 May 23, 2025 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg RogerEbert.com [Assange] is certainly worth serious consideration, more than the hero worship of Jarecki’s filmmaking gives him. May 23, 2025 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Filmed using a wealth of diverse materials and interviews with numerous witnesses, the final result is a powerful documentary that will end up making history and is on track to be the most awarded of the next season. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Educational...and with a dizzying pace,...The Six Billion Dollar Man...is nevertheless a valuable documentary for its archival work,...for the testimonies not only of Assange himself but also of Pamela Anderson...and many others...[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 May 27, 2025 Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture While “The Six Billion Dollar Man” could use a more critical eye on Assange in order to truly be the corrective it wants to be, it at least never veers into hagiography Rated: 7/10 May 26, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
