The Six Billion Dollar Man directed by Eugene Jarecki has withdrawn from the 2025 Sundance Film Festival as the film will not be complete in time. The film was playing as a Special Screening in the program announced on December 11, 2025.


The Six Billion Dollar Man / U.S.A. (Director: Eugene Jarecki, Producer: Kathleen Fournier) — Julian Assange faced a possible 175 years in prison for exposing U.S. war crimes until events took a turn in this landmark case. World Premiere. Documentary. Available online for Public.


Statement from director Eugene Jarecki:
The truth is, significant recent and unexpected developments have emerged at the heart of the story which, if not incorporated in the version for Sundance, would not represent a finished film. Sundance has shaped my career and been a cornerstone of my journey—only something of this magnitude could make me withdraw.
