For truth seekers, this year has been the most dangerous ever recorded. “THE SIX BILLION DOLLAR MAN” is a gripping investigation into Julian Assange, a pivotal figure in contemporary journalism, whose release by U.S. authorities in 2024 reignited the global debate on press freedom. With unprecedented access and never-before-seen behind-the-scenes material, the film unfolds across five continents, weaving groundbreaking new evidence into an international high-tech espionage thriller filled with secrets, spies, torture, and murder.

The film had its world premiere in the Special Screenings section of the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2025, where it won the Jury Prize, the L'Œil d'or, and the first Golden Globe for a documentary.
