Hello friend -- Today, Julian Assange walks free—at a cost. This is the first time in US history a journalist has pled guilty to espionage charges, setting a potentially dangerous precedent for the future of press freedom. Bullfrog Communities release ITHAKA is a behind-the-scenes look at the Assange family's fight in this high-stakes case.
Weaving historic archive and intimate behind-the-scenes footage, ITHAKA tracks the journey of Assange's father, John Shipton, alongside Julian's wife, Stella Moris, as they join forces to advocate for Julian's release. We witness John embark on a European odyssey to rally a global network of supporters, persuade politicians, and cautiously step into the media's glare—where he is forced to confront events that have made Julian a global flashpoint.
Filmed over two years across the UK, Europe and the US, ITHAKA provides a timely, intimate look into how Assange's father and fiancé worked together to campaign and advocate for Julian in this high-stakes case that may define First Amendment law for decades to come.
“The persecution of Assange establishes a precedent that will not only allow the powerful to keep their crimes secret but will even make the revelation of such claims punishable by law. Let us not fool ourselves: once telling the truth has become a crime we will all be living in a tyranny.” See https://www.bullfrogcommunities.com for a complete list of our titles.
