No production date has been set.

    What the heck happened to Assange? Last thing I remember he was arrested and taken away somewhere...? He always seemed like a patsy to me, elite globalists setting him up so they can introduce a new internet where things cannot be leaked because the CIA will block whatever sites they don't like. They have already seized a few torrent sites. ISOHunt, for example. I believe Torrentfinder was another one. Anyhoo, a WikiLeaks movie will probably nonetheless be propaganda if what I said is true, since they really are trying to shut down the internet and bring it back up under CIA control and censored (look at China and Australia for examples), but I will probably still watch it.

    Hopefully the film details Assange's questional handling of the Nostradamus sports picks. Nostradamus predicted a Celtics win on May 1, 2011 nearly 500 years ago, also an Angels win over the Rays. Assange only released this reluctantly but what else is he holding? ... http://placeitonluckydan.com/2011/03/wikileaks-nostradamus-sports-picks/

    @skywise Ferguson has a way of presenting things in a clean, elegant way, I'm sure the way he presents the facts and interviews will be refreshingly honest. They always are.

    This guy is an awesome doc*mentary director. I No End in Sight and Inside Job were brilliant, simple to understand given the complex subject matter, and he is a straight shooter with his questions and style. I will definitely watch this, this guy has my 100% support.
