In the second episode of new ABC series Ithaka: A Fight to Free Julian Assange, the man behind some of the largest classified-document leaks in history sings Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star over the phone to his young son as he gets ready for bed.
Minutes before the sweet bedtime scene, Assange’s wife and legal adviser Stella Moris watches a video of a gospel choir singing in support of Assange outside of Belmarsh prison, where he has been held since he was dragged out of London’s Ecuadorean embassy in 2019.
