This new documentary is narrated by Turkish journalist Can Dündar, who has his own incredible story. This is worth watching.

Great piece, thanks for sharing.
"The first casualty of war is the truth and then its messengers" That is so true.
In the end it is a very sad story and makes me realize (or remind rather) that "war is hell".
It also makes one wonder whether what Assange did was right or whether it was selfish. He did miss 5 birthdays of his kids and paid a huge price, for what I ask?
At what point your moral compass will say, OK, I don't want to get involved because its gonna bring harm to me and my family. Let's face it, his kids will be profoundly affected by these events. What lesson will they learn? Tell the truth and go to jail?
I don't have illusions, not even for a second that this exposure and his story in general will change the secret services and the "dirty work" they do, they will adopt and find more creative ways to hunt the truth seekers. It is a sad, sad story.
I like what the NY lawyer said and that is the main point: It's not that leaking classified information is OK, it's NOT (they have been classified for a reason). The main problem is that the way they classify it is wrong. He clearly stated that the government CAN'T classify anything to avoid consequences and yet they do it on a daily basis.
Will Assange story change they way the governments all over the world behave? I wish it would but I strongly doubt it.
Dundar deserves an award for this piece, it's very well done (by Deutsche Welle of all places...little shocker there).
All this reaffirm my believes that we all should become more independent, self sufficient as much as possible, be good and help the brother man in need, expect nothing in return and always be vigilant. Stack sats and be happy!

Great reply. Thanks. I for one hadn't really considered how this affected Assange's kids. I also can't believe this is a DW documentary. My wife turned to me when it was over and said "Watch, it will be banned by youtube tomorrow."

I'm literally in tears!
It's too much for a man who just told a truth! Feeling for those who just went there for help to pick up the body to be put in the van! That was van! He said truck? A truck !!

I can't believe the impact this is having on me. What a horrifying, sad story. The whole collateral murder footage is brutal. Then, finding the boy who survived, who's now a grown man? Unbelievable.

I've just added to my initial comment about how I feel for that brutal footage. They were human beings after all. Those who were raising a body from the road were in no way militants.

The soldier said it best, it was just one day among many other days of killing, for 20 years in Irak, Afghanistan, Viet Nam and now Gaza. Disheartening to see that the criminals leading these wars, the Bush, the Obama, Clintons and Biden will never be brought to justice but good to see that some journalists still have the courage to expose them we want people to know what they do

I can't believe what I've just seen! If that's what made Bush feel powerful, I doubt he was a coward! He went behind all humanity.
There are many Julians all around the world no and I feel that some of the same episodes are also going on right now. Can't believe if anyone says that Gaza and Ukraine aren't the places for homicides now!
