“We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks” is a fast-moving, fascinating film by Oscar-winning Dir. Elex Gibney (“Taxi to the Dark Side”).

It introduces viewers to the early days and subsequent  development of the famous organization and to two high-profile leakers, Julian Assange and Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning.

This film is controversial because it is not approved by either Assange nor Manning, and neither is made to appear as a perfect hero on a white horse.

The film is packed with information and suspense, and has garnered a 95 percent “Fresh” rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

A review in Digital Spy states, “The range of Gibney's subjects, the rigour of his research and the complexity of his questions make We Steal Secrets breathlessly compelling, but it's the moments of psychological probing that haunt the most.”
