The ongoing row between WikiLeaks and director Alex Gibney (pictured) has intensified, with the whistle-blowing organization publishing an annotated and critical transcript of the filmmaker\u2019s doc We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks \u2013 a transcript that Gibney says is incomplete.<\/p>\n
WikiLeaks published what purports to be a transcript of Oscar-winner Gibney\u2019s Universal-backed doc, which had its world premiere at Sundance in January, on Thursday (May 23), the day before We Steal Secrets had its release in the U.S.<\/p>\n
The film looks at the nature of secrecy in the 21st Century, with regards to WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and the U.S. government.<\/p>\n
In a statement, WikiLeaks said the annotated transcript \u201creveals errors and sleight of hand by the director,\u201d and \u201csuggests \u2013 erroneously and when evidence is to the contrary \u2013 that Assange may be guilty of conspiring with Bradley Manning to commit espionage or similar offenses.\u201d<\/p>\n
The annotations take issue with the vast majority of content in the film.<\/p>\n
In a series of Tweets, Gibney hit back at WikiLeaks, claiming that the organization \u201chas published an incomplete and inaccurate transcript\u201d of the doc, based on a non-final version of the film.<\/p>\n
Gibney said the transcript is missing all of Manning\u2019s printed words, which constitute almost a quarter of film. \u201cMighty WikiLeaks: publishing a phony transcript that leaves out all of Manning\u2019s words,\u201d Gibney Tweeted. WikiLeaks, meanwhile, responded that their transcript was a \u201cfull audio, not screen, transcript.\u201d<\/p>\n
