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.

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 →
