Weaving historic archive and intimate behind-the- scenes footage, this story tracks John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father, alongside Stella Morris, Assange’s wife, as they join forces to advocate for Julian. We witness John embark on a European odyssey to rally a global network of supporters, advocate to politicians and cautiously step into the media’s glare.

A discussion led by Coleen Rowley and Mike Madden of Twin Cities Assange Defense (TCAD) will follow the film.

“For those who value free speech, there is no film more important to watch than the documentary Ithaca.... This story is a wake-up call to all governments and everyone who claims to value democracy and free speech.” Brian J. Karem, Author, Free the Press
