The Bitcoin World Premiere is done. To every Bitcoin Producer who put their name behind this film when the rest of the industry wouldn't — thank you. You didn't buy a ticket. You backed a thesis. And a real thank you to @Edward Snowden and @jack for joining the post-film discussion. Having the two of you in the room, talking openly about what this story means for our collective freedom is precisely the kind of conversation this film is meant to start. This isn't the finish line. It's the beginning. The Bitcoin Producers will convene in another roundtable shortly to put in place the best next steps for a wider release — how we carry this from our community to the world. More soon. Thank you for being early.

That’s my mom watching @Edward Snowden and @jack and me. At 93, she is still going strong for freedom and humanity.

I refused to look away — and I refused to wait for permission. Forbes just featured The Six Billion Dollar Man: the Julian Assange documentary that asks the hard questions about power, journalism, and who decides which stories reach the rest of us. Uncomfortable enough that no streamer would touch it. So it's finding its own way. Thank you to Forbes for the thoughtful feature. Today, June 27 at 4 PM ET, you can watch for yourself — no middlemen, no gatekeepers.

PRIMAL PEOPLE — TODAY'S THE DAY Last chance to become a Founding Bitcoin Producer before tomorrow's Bitcoin-only World Premiere. THE SIX BILLION DOLLAR MAN: Julian Assange and the Price of Truth Watch the film — then stay for a live post-film discussion with Jack Dorsey and Edward Snowden.

Every major U.S. streamer passed on this film. Cannes winner. Golden Globe winner. Didn't matter to them. So we stopped waiting for permission. Working with @jack , we're releasing THE SIX BILLION DOLLAR MAN through Bitcoin — directly to the people this story was made for. Variety just covered the full story: why no studio would touch it, how Bitcoin makes this possible, and what Bitcoin Producers get that no one else will. Bitcoin Producers get in first — 0.01 BTC, exclusive access, and a seat at the table.

Eugene Jarecki on Releasing His Julian Assange Doc on Bitcoin

Eugene Jarecki discusses releasing his Julian Assange documentary in tandem with Jack Dorsey using a Bitcoin-supported business model.

Edward Snowden is in my new film for a reason. So is Daniel Ellsberg. So is Chelsea Manning. So is Reality Winner. Each of them stood alone. Each was systematically destroyed for trying to bring the public information that was rightfully ours. The system is very good at making sure no one tries a second time. That's the chain I'm trying to break with The Six Billion Dollar Man. Not with a documentary alone — with a model. A way to fund and release the work the gatekeepers will not touch. We are the only people who can save us. Watch party June 27.

The room is filling up. Counting down to June 27. thesixbilliondollarman.com

A centralized financial system. A centralized media system. Equally corrupt outcomes. Bitcoiners have been routing around the first one for more than fifteen years. We’re proving you can route around the second one too. Same instinct. Same answer. Same community.

When I started this film I didn't know Bitcoin was different from crypto. Now I'm meeting people profoundly concerned with human rights — with how their money participates in shaping the world. That matters a lot to me. That's what I do. And that's why I'm here, on this network, with you.

Filming Edward Snowden was one of the more significant moments in my career. Few people understand the cost of telling the truth like he does. Now he's part of our sovereign release. On June 27, he'll be speaking at our Bitcoin Producer Watch Party — as we put this film out on a rail no government can switch off. Become a Bitcoin Producer. 0.01 BTC. Powered by Primal and Nostr.

The film won Cannes. Won the first-ever Golden Globe for Documentary. Then — silence. Not one streamer. Not one American distributor. Their last move was to refuse the film. Ours is to skip distribution entirely — straight to you, on a rail no one can pull. That's the thesis. June 27.

The watch party isn't a ticket. It's a Producer credit. Your name goes on the film. Permanent. Not as a viewer, not as a backer — as a Producer of the work. That's the model. The first audience IS the studio. Sat-gated. No middleman. Powered by Primal and Nostr.

More from Bitcoin Prague. If we can get this film out — the one they don't want people to see — it proves gatekeepers are no longer necessary. Assange. Satoshi. Two martyrs. One cause. We are the only rebel army we have. The Six Billion Dollar Man. June 27. thesixbilliondollarman.com

At Bitcoin Prague, I introduced something that has never been done in the history of film. We're inviting the Bitcoin community to become producers. Not backers. Not fans. Producers. Because the story we're telling — WikiLeaks, Assange, financial censorship — is YOUR story. And the gatekeepers don't want it seen. Which means it's exactly the kind of film Bitcoin was made to protect. The Six Billion Dollar Man. June 27. thesixbilliondollarman.com

I've been thinking about something @jack told me. In 2011, when the U.S. government pressured MasterCard, Visa, and PayPal to cut WikiLeaks off, Bitcoin stepped in. WikiLeaks accepted Bitcoin, and a small community of strangers proved that information can find its way to the public no matter who tries to stop it. Fifteen years later, the gatekeepers are trying to block my film about the man who ran WikiLeaks — The Six Billion Dollar Man. And once again, the answer is you. This loop is older than I knew. You opened it. We're closing it together on June 27.

At Vegas last month, I told people: we're not looking for an audience. We're looking for envoys. People who believe that the right to know things — about our money, about our governments, about our world — is worth defending. If you're one of those people, June 27 is for you. The BITCOIN-ONLY PREMIERE is for purists. Not speculators, not tourists. If you don't like that, or maybe don't want to part with your speculator-coin, it's not for you. But if you understand why Julian Assange matters and why Bitcoin matters alongside him, then you already know why this film exists. Join us.

The people you'll meet in this film: Snowden. Manning. Ellsberg. Reality Winner. Nader. Julian. And many more characters who played their part. After 7 years of making this film, I keep wondering how this story will continue to unfold. I see this community as a key part in the next chapter of how Julian’s work continues to impact our world for the better.

They blocked the payments. They banned the film. They couldn't stop either. This trailer is direct from me to you. No studio. No middlemen. Zap this if you believe some things can't be censored.
