## Resource

Eugene Jarecki joins to discuss his new Julian Assange documentary The Six Billion Dollar Man , filmed over seven years across 15 countries under high security conditions. We get into WikiLeaks as a breakthrough for whistleblowers, Bitcoin’s early role in keeping WikiLeaks alive after Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal cut it off, and why Assange’s story remains central to freedom of information. Then we go deep on the broken state of film distribution, why legacy media and streamers will not touch the film, Jack Dorsey’s idea to release it through Bitcoiners first, and the experiment to make Bitcoin supporters official producers of the film before a wider release.
