The film won Cannes. Won the first-ever Golden Globe for Documentary. Then — silence. Not one streamer. Not one American distributor. Their last move was to refuse the film. Ours is to skip distribution entirely — straight to you, on a rail no one can pull. That's the thesis. June 27.

#art #doc #Assange #film Le film a remporté le prix à Cannes. Il a décroché le tout premier Golden Globe dans la catégorie « documentaire ». Puis… le silence. Pas une seule plateforme de streaming. Pas un seul distributeur américain. Leur dernière décision a été de refuser le film. La nôtre : contourner complètement la distribution — pour vous le proposer directement, sur une voie que personne ne peut dérailler. Voilà le principe. Le 27 juin.

One Million sats may feel like a lot now, and it may be a considerable amount sometime in the future. But this is not about the “never sell” “we’re going to the moon” moment. This is a “do I have the resources to be part of something greater”. This may not be Venice pre renaissance (@allen ), I may not be a member of the Medici court, but the cultural capital I hope to contribute to, with my small donation will hopefully contribute to part of a future world that I will be happy to live in, and I can say, “I helped spread the story of wiki leaks, and if future films can be shared in this way, I can say I played a role in their success as well”. Be a producer, attend a live screening (@CYPHERMUNK HOUSE | LONDON ), repost this. If not you, then who will work to change the world? View quoted note →
Look for event organizers, those who actually will show the film at a specific location. As I understand it, they will act as those 'producers' and pay in Bitcoin, but might offer other payment methods for their audience.
I remember watching ‘The Fifth Estate’ in 2014. It painted Assange in a rather bad light (not so nice considering the real Assange was still trying to avoid extradition to Sweden and potentially the US at the time). I’ve always wondered whether the position the movie took made it easier to fund and distribute. 🤨 View quoted note →
