Wikileaks

We got the idea of looking at Wikileaks after researching Conspiracy Thrillers.



Wikileaks is a non-profit organisation bringing news and information to the public that would not normally be as accessible. Anonymous sources give their information to Wikileaks journalists, providing transparency and creating a more open and free society. They use the defence of freedom of speech and media publishing, yet are still a controversial site in the eyes of the law and the subject involved. Each document is thoroughly analysed for authenticity to ensure it is 100% accurate.
We decided to look at Wikileaks due to the confidential nature of the site, and similarities to our initial plot. We have also looked at some YouTube videos related to Wikileaks and are considering the idea of doing a montage within our plot.
For further reference at a later date, we have linked the site here, and the documentary here.
We have also found that the hackivist group, Anonymous are closely linked to Wikileaks through social networking site YouTube.
It could be interesting to involve something surrounding this concept in our teaser trailer, as they have recently pulled support from Wikileaks as seen n various articles such as this.
Anonymous can be found on YouTube here.
