“The Trust Fall: Julian Assange” is an important documentary released in UK cinemas on 15th March 2024 (www.thetrustfall.org). Why should we, the people of Britain, the parents of London, care about Julian Assange? It’s about the right to freedom and to the truth. We live in free countries in Europe, and we should be able to continue to trust our democratically elected governments. Yet, Assange showed us that underneath the surface of demagogic speeches and political campaigns lies a web of spies, cruel military actions, and miscarriages of justice carried out by those same governments in the name of security. As citizens of democratic countries, we all need to find out the truth, and Assange, who has dedicated his life to unveiling the truth, should be allowed to continue his work as an investigative journalist, not imprisoned (in solitary confinement) for that. Fighting for Assange’s liberation is our duty if we want to guarantee that our children will keep living in free countries. Personally, as an author, I feel for Assange, and I feel that the world is becoming less and less free since the beginning of his imprisonment, which is part of the rapid spread of the ‘cancel culture’. Frankly, as a mother, I would not want my son to live in a world where freedom is only on paper but not out there.
