Ben Lawrence’s feature documentary Ithaka follows Julian Assange’s father, John Shipton, as he fights to free his son.
The film begins with Assange’s arrest from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and using Julian’s extradition hearing as a framework, charts an intimate story of a family’s crisis.
It is produced by Gabriel Shipton, Julian’s brother, and features music from Brian Eno.
Ithaka makes its world premiere at the Sydney Film Festival, where it will compete for the Documentary Australia Foundation Award. Lawrence previously won the prize in 2018 for his film Ghosthunter.
Sad moment for humanity, powerful forces control the Assange narrative, where free journalism and the right of citizens to know the truth is at risk.
I would like to see the “Ithaka” movie in Canadian cinemas.
Where can I watch this documentary?
I think every one should see it.
Where can I see this in South Australia ?
