Second screening of popular documentary
The Trust Fall: Julian Assange will play again today at Mareeba Drive-In, gates and cafe open at 5.45pm with the movie starting at 7.30pm.
DUE to popular demand, the Australian Assange documentary will feature again at Mareeba Drive-In.
It was a packed release for the film on Thursday 28 December, with more than 100 cars turning out for the documentary.
Cars tooted their horns and flashed their lights at the conclusion of the powerful and emotive film.
Written and directed by Australian film-maker Kym Staton, The Trust Fall: Julian Assange, tells the story of famous political prisoner Julian Assange.
Assange is a multi-award winning Australian journalist who has been detained in prison for more than 4.5 years and faces extradition to the U.S. with the threat of a 175 year prison sentence - all for revealing the truth.
Britain has given the go-ahead for his extradition, but he has been trying to overturn that decision. Campaigners said a public hearing would take place at the High Court on February 20-21 when two judges will review an earlier ruling which had refused Assange permission to appeal.
The voices of celebrity narrators Roger Waters, M.I.A. and Tom Morello bring expression and colour to this powerful film.
Winner of multiple awards including Best Emerging Director at Melbourne Documentary Film Festival 2023, and official selection at Warsaw Film Festival and many other festivals.
At the world premiere in July 2023 at Melbourne Documentary Film Festival, the film received a standing ovation. Audiences at festivals around the world have been moved to tears.
The Trust Fall: Julian Assange will play again today at Mareeba Drive-In, gates and cafe open at 5.45pm with the movie starting at 7.30pm.
