Echo Chamber

We have a 'Special Edition' of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ for you today!!!

Truth seeking is this episode's goal, and thanks to Films For Change, Journeyman Pictures & ARPR we got to explore the story of Julian Assange through a new documentary. People finally get to see an unvarnished look at the facts of what happened with WikiLeaks and Assange, which is eye opening! THEN, we have a brief chat with the writer, director of the piece. Who put together a highly engaging exposé, so much so, not even the flu could act as a distraction (though, definitely not on top form)!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/ihJo9_dI8xY

'The Trust Fall: Julian Assange' is written & directed by Kym Staton. Despite being detained, silenced, and hidden from public view in maximum security Belmarsh Prison, multi-award-winning Australian journalist and publisher Julian Assange has become one of the loudest voices for free speech of our times. The disclosures of WikiLeaks from 2010 ignited a firestorm of controversy and a relentless ongoing pursuit by the most powerful state on the planet.

Today we have:
