Eugene Jarecki, who recently won the inaugural Golden Globe Prize for Documentary at Cannes, will sit down for a director Q&A at Double Exposure. His new film, The Six Billion Dollar Man, shows how governments exaggerated accusations to discredit Julian Assange in the court of public opinion and undermine his status as a journalist, laying the groundwork to prosecute him under the Espionage Act. By weaving together original footage and critical context, the film challenges familiar narratives and offers a pointed look at the consequences for those who press for transparency—a conversation squarely aimed at those working to uncover and tell difficult truths.

Double Exposure offers a variety of festival passes that provide attendees with priority access to a range of events. We also offer a limited number of standalone tickets to individual events, providing a more flexible way to participate.
