Eugene Jarecki on Bringing Julian Assange to Cannes With the Explosive WikiLeaks Documentary ‘The Six Billion Dollar Man’

Cannes audiences can decide for themselves on May 21 when “The Six Billion Dollar Man,” which follows Assange from the early days of WikiLeaks through his decades-long legal battles, premieres with the man himself in attendance.

If These Walls Could Sing review – mystery tour of Abbey Road Studios
Putting her privileged access to good use, Mary McCartney has directed this enjoyable documentary about Abbey Road Studios in London – famously the site of the Beatles’ classic recordings (her dad is Paul of course), but much more besides.
