WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange looks out of the balcony window of the Ecuadorian embassy in central London on February 5, 2016 before addressing the media from the balcony. ADVERTISEMENTIn a scene from Laura Poitras’ documentary “Risk,” Julian Assange ― already bereft of his signature white hairdo ― is attempting a disguise. Poitras’ thrilling film, released two and a half years after her 2014 doc “CitizenFour” centered on Edward Snowden, spans the bulk of these years. While her documentary leaves the conclusions up to the viewers, the U.S. government has come down clear with its stance. And I think we’d be really foolish to think that includes just Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, but it’s targeting the press more broadly.
