The Six Billion Dollar Man is a 2025 documentary film directed by Eugene Jarecki, tracing the saga of Australian editor, publisher, and activist Julian Assange, whose recent release from prison has reignited global debate around press freedom. Framed as a high-tech international thriller, the film incorporates privileged access to WikiLeaks footage and never-before-seen evidence to explore the increasingly precarious position of journalists in a world where the defence of truth is under threat.
