The Fifth Estate (Blu-ray)

The Fifth Estate

In a world where information is valued above all else, and leaking classified information can cause irreversible consequences, WikiLeaks has changed the rules of the game forever. The film, based on real events, tells the story of the attempt to expose government corruption and the lies of the authorities that turned an Internet startup into one of the most famous and discussed organizations of the 21st century. In its early years, WIKILEAKS exposed more secrets than the world's most powerful media outlets combined, exposing embarrassing government secrets and corporate financial crimes. But when the site's founders gained access to the largest classified archive in the United States, they had to find the answer to one of the most important questions of our time: what is the price of secrets in a free society - and what is the price of disclosing it?
