Gabriel Shipton, film producer and brother of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, speaks about his film ITHAKA, which follows Assange's father John Shipton in his fight to free Julian. Gabriel discusses the chilling effect America’s efforts to prosecute Julian are having on freedom of press and whistleblowers across the world, and the disturbing tactics deployed to silence him and undermine Julian's case. Julian is currently being held in Belmarsh Prison, London. A court has formally approved the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States on espionage charges. His extradition will ultimately be a decision for UK home secretary, Priti Patel. Broadcast on 10 May 2022.
