Julian Assange: Silenced

This French documentary drama examines the life of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

The film was directed by Etienne Huver and produced by Marina Ladous and Myriam Weil. It was a co-production involving Federation Studios, ARTE GEIE, PROCIREP, and the CNC. Julian Assange appears throughout the movie via archive footage. Released on October 28, 2025, the project serves as an investigative portrait of a man whose actions challenged American power.
