ASSANGE DEFENSE
VideocraticMedia EP Robert Corsini first interviewed Julian Assange in 2016 at the Ecuadorian embassy in London for the feature documentary ‘Architects of Denial’. Assange addressed the mountains of information released by WikiLeaks. It was about the political factors surrounding the Armenian genocide denial. This was especially true within the US Congress.

WikiLeaks founder discusses the Armenian Genocide denial during an interview with Videocratic Media’s EP, Robert Corsini, in 2016.
Three years later, after the film’s release, Robert, having worked with Assange as a journalist and researcher, understood the importance of WikiLeaks and its vital role in holding global power elites accountable in the modern digital age of journalism.
With his new company, VideocraticMedia, Robert joined a group of longtime Southern California political activists and 1st Amendment advocates to help produce content in defense of Julian Assange and freedom of the press.
The aim of the collaboration was to create content that would demonstrate the grave injustice of Assange’s decade-long persecution and was one of the first public examples of grassroots, multimedia organizing in support of support Assange in the U.S.

Pentagon Papers’ whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, interviewed by VM Executive Producer Robert Corsini, defends Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, 2019.
In the wake of Julian Assange’s recent release from solitary confinement in London’s Belmarsh prison and subsequent ‘guilty’ plea, VM will continue its work challenging the false narratives used to discredit journalists and ‘whistleblowers’ like Assange and the truths he published regarding US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
