Watch Ithaka on ITVX, only this week
ITHAKA had it's TV premiere in the UK on last Sunday on ITV. If you missed it you can still watch this award-winning documentary on ITVX available only this week: https://www.itv.com/watch/ithaka-the-fight-to-free-assange/10a4619
The screening could not be more timely. Julian has now been in Belmarsh prison for more than four years. If the US government succeed in extraditing him, he faces a possible 175-year sentence in a maximum security prison for publishing the truth about what governments do in our name.
The film tells the story of how Julian's father, John Shipton, and now wife Stella Assange, join forces on an international odyssey to campaign for Julian’s freedom. As they rally a world- wide network of supporters and politicians, they cautiously step into the media's glare - and are forced to confront the events that made Julian a global flashpoint.
First time in London, Anything to Say statue is coming to town
"Anything To Say?" is a life size bronze sculpture, portraying three figures each one standing on a chair. The fourth chair is empty because it is our chair. The one for us to stand up on to express ourselves or simply to stand next to Edward Snowden, Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning, who had the courage to say no to the intrusion of global surveillance and to lies that lead to war.
When: Saturday 24 June at 1pm BST
Where: Parliament square, London UK
