WikiLeaks Movie and documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney was recently interviewed by Karl Quinn of The Sydney Morning Herald. Gibney, who has two films showing at the Melbourne International Film Festival, is on a fascinating trek to understand and convey the “globe girdling” WikiLeaks story. This trek has taken Gibney to Iceland for interviews with Birgitta Jonsdottir, to Magnetic Island, Oklahoma USA and many other locales. Alex Gibney clearly recognizes the hilarity and challenge of his effort as it takes place simultaneously to other WikiLeaks movie and film projects. Branding himself ”a more dishevelled Columbo, shuffling along trying to understand what’s going on,” it is this dogged, detective-like approach to film making that may ensure his WikiLeaks documentary film project stands out in the eyes of history.

Rowan Joffe Video Archive, HBO’s Wikileaks Movie Screenwriter. The HBO & BBC Wikileaks Movie team has tapped Rowan Joffe to write the script and screenplay and added a deep roster of executive producers to complement the Oscar-Winning Director Charles Ferguson. Joffe has an impressive background, previously directing “Brighton Rock (2010)” and writing for George Clooney independent film “The American” as well as “28 Weeks Later.” The HBO & BBC film, as reported by Variety, is “… the story of the database run by former hacker and internet activist Julian Assange and his operatives, whose mission is to collect and disseminate via the Internet private, secret and classified information from anonymous sources.”
Wikileaks-Movie.com is pleased to introduce you to Birgitta Jónsdóttir, Icelandic Parliament member, artist, poet, activist, former WikiLeaks spokesperson, and co-producer of the video”Collateral Murder.” Jónsdóttir is also a member of what is being referred to as the “Twitter Three,” where the U.S. Justice Department is trying to access her personal Twitter account in order to build a criminal case against Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange. Jónsdóttir has played an influential role in the unfolding Wikileaks story but what is not readily apparent, given the news media’s focus on Wikileaks, is that she has a range of passions and talents that combine into her unique role as one of the most important leaders to emerge in modern Icelandic history. This is her story.

What is the role of Wikileaks in Yemen and the “Arab Spring?” In Yemen, political revolt is in full swing. President Ali Abdullah Saleh has left the country for Saudi Arabia as the “Arab Spring” uprising causes bloodshed and a transformation in power structures. The causes for this watershed event are many, but many wonder “What has been the role of Wikileaks?” At the recent Hay Festival, Julian Assange remarked that Wikileaks had ”played a significant role” but acknowledged that many factors are at play, not simply the influence of Wikileaks cable releases. This assessment by Julian Assange seems to be a balanced, honest representation of the impacts of Wikileaks on Yemen and the wider “Arab Spring.” In this article Wikileaks-Movie.com provides a few key resources that will introduce events in Yemen as related to Wikileaks and the “Arab Spring.”
The Irish Independent has released the Wikileaks Ireland Cables, 1,900 classified cables from the American Embassy in Ireland. As a continuation of Wikileaks’ approach to develop national partnerships with key News Agencies (e.g. Israel: Haaretz, India: The Hindu), today the Irish Independent has begun its own Wikileaks journey.
As the paper reports, “TODAY this newspaper carries the first installment of a flood of information obtained through the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks, founded by Julian Assange. It is not too much to call this exclusive series a major event in Irish journalism.
It consists of vast numbers of messages sent to the State Department in Washington (and passed on from there to other US government agencies) by diplomats in the American embassy in Dublin and the American consulate in Belfast.”
