Wikirebels is the first documentary ever made about the birth and rise of WikiLeaks. SVT's television team was given the opportunity to follow the behind-the-scenes operations and the growth of the secretive WikiLeaks organisation, and also get unique interviews with Julian Assange.Jesper Huor and Bosse Lindquist follow the organisation´s development, from back when its founder Julian Assange was a teenager, hacking into the army´s mainframe computers, up until the present - the releasing in Nov 2010 of 260,000 explosive American diplomatic reports. Along the way, it recounts how WikiLeaks has posted millions of classified documents on the Web and blown the whistle on everything from corrupt African presidents to swindling Swiss and Icelandic bankers.
