Filmed with the startling immediacy of unfolding history,

Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker

Alex Gibney's 'We Steal Secrets : The Story of WikiLeaks'

details the creation of Julian Assange's controversial website,

which facilitated the largest security breach in U.S. history.

Hailed by some as a free-speech hero

and by others as a traitor and terrorist,

the enigmatic Assange's rise and fall are paralleled with that

of Pfc. Bradley Manning, the brilliant, troubled young soldier

who downloaded hundreds of thousands of documents

from classified U.S. military and diplomatic servers,

revealing the behind-the-scenes workings of

the government's international diplomacy and military strategy.

In seeking to expose abuse in the corridors of power,

Assange and Manning were undermined by forces

within and without, as well as by their own human failings.

We Steal Secrets : The Story of WikiLeaks is a riveting,

multi-layered tale about transparency in the information age

and our ever-elusive search for the truth.
