The Fifth Estate
You can't expose the world's secrets without exposing yourself
Directed by Bill Condon

A tense, cerebral examination of idealism corrupted by power, told through the fractured friendship between two activists whose mission to expose truth ultimately destroys their bond.
A look at the relationship between WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his early supporter and eventual colleague Daniel Domscheit-Berg, and how the website's growth and influence led to an irreparable rift between the two friends.
