The documentary on jailed publisher and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, ‘Ithaka’, made its world premiere at the Sydney Film Festival on Sunday.

Directed by Ben Lawrence, the documentary follows Julian Assange’s father, John Shipton, as he fights to free his son alongside Assange’s fiance Stella Moris-Smith.

The film begins with Assange’s arrest from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and using Julian’s extradition hearing as a framework, charts an intimate story of the family’s crisis.

“A father fighting for his son really grabs people, and I think you can see the reaction from the audience tonight, it’s a very emotional movie,” commented Gabriel Shipton, Assange’s brother and a producer of the film.

The documentary features interviews with the likes of punk icon and activist Vivienne Westwood and Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The film also features a soundtrack composed by British musician Brian Eno.
