ABOUT THE EVENT
Join us for our opening night celebrations with festivals partners. dignitaries and the filmmakers from Ithaka, then dance the night away with hits from local musicians. Price includes canapes and two drinks.
After Julian Assange was arrested at London's Ecuadorian embassy in 2019, his Victoria-based father stepped into the legal, political and media fray. Joined by Julian's fiancée, Stella Moris, 76-year-old Shipton lays out the situation to journalists, often sounding eerily like his detained son. In early 2021, the UK verdict on whether to extradite Julian to America collided with a pandemic and the US presidential election. As the crusade heats up, Shipton battles on, challenging misconceptions with quiet patience and remarkable composure.
