Director Angela Richter presents previously unreleased material from her interviews with whistle-blower Julian Assange, conducted in 2015 in his exile at the Ecuadorian embassy in London: The ghost is present. The artist began conducting
interviews with Julian Assange in 2011. After he published US military intelligence on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the whistle-blower and former spokesman
of WikiLeaks became a symbol of opposition to state cover-ups and a lack of transparency. The vehemence directed against Assange reveals the extent of the impact of his revelations.
Based on SUPERNERDS – Ein Überwachungsabend (An evening of surveillance) from Schauspiel Köln, gebrueder beetz filmproduktion and WDR. With the generous support of the Wau Holland Stiftung and gebrueder beetz filmproduktion.
