After recently announcing the news that M.I.A. would provide the background music for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange‘s new tv show, the series has finally made its highly anticipated debut. For the first episode of ‘The World Tomorrow,’ Assange delivers viewers a controversial interview with Hezbollah leader Sayyed Nasrallah. You can watch the first full episode of ‘The World Tomorrow’ below, and as always, let us know what you think!
“Julian Assange, founder and Editor-in-Chief of WikiLeaks, has been under house arrest, without charge, for almost 500 days. Over the past two months, his temporary home in the English countryside has played host to a series of extraordinary conversations with some of the most interesting and controversial people alive in the world today. ”The World Tomorrow” is a collection of twelve interviews featuring an eclectic range of guests, who are stamping their mark on the future: politicians, revolutionaries, intellectuals, artists and visionaries. The world’s last five years have been marked by an unrelenting series of economic crises and political upheavals. But they have also given rise to the eruption of revolutionary ferment in the Middle East and to the emergence of new protest movements in the Euro-American world. In Julian’s words, the aim of the show is “to capture and present some of this revolutionary spirit to a global audience. My own work with WikiLeaks hasn’t exactly made my life easier”, says Assange, “but it has given us a platform to broadcast world-shifting ideas.”
