Ithaka

Julian Assange’s wife and father battle the British establishment on behalf of the WikiLeaks founder, who faces a 175-year prison sentence if extradited to the US.

Stella and John run a tireless campaign to save Assange, arguably the world’s most famous political prisoner. Filmed over two years, Ithaka follows John as he travels between the UK, Europe and the US, campaigning for his son against a system that seems hell-bent on persecuting him. Assange himself is heard and glimpsed in phone calls from prison. With Julian facing a 175-year sentence, his family are confronting the prospect of losing him forever to the abyss of the US justice system.
