World Tomorrow, sometimes called The Julian Assange Show, is a 2012 television program of 26-minute political interviews hosted by WikiLeaks founder and editor, Julian Assange.[1] Twelve episodes were filmed prior to the program's premier on 17 April 2012.[2][3] The program's premier marked the 500th day of the "financial blockade" of WikiLeaks.[4][5]

The show is produced by Quick Roll Productions, which was established by Julian Assange, with the assistance of Dartmouth Films. It is distributed by Journeyman Pictures and broadcast internationally in English, Arabic, and Spanish by RT, which also makes the program available online.[1][6][7] The theme for the show was composed by M.I.A.[2][3]

Statements made by guests

Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon announced on the show that his organisation could act as a mediator in the Syrian conflict.[16]

Reports regarding future guests

On 14 April 2012 the Brisbane Times stated that later guests would include Anwar Ibrahim.[17] In early 2012, Al Jazeera, Wall Street Journal and WikiLeaks' Twitter feed suggested that guests might include Noam Chomsky and Tariq Ali.[18][19][20]

Assange stated that it had not been possible to interview Ai Weiwei or Mikhail Khodorkovsky.[4]

Reception

In his New York Times blog, Robert Mackey called RT "a strange partner" for Assange.[21] In an article for The Guardian, Luke Harding described the show as proof that Assange was a "useful idiot".[22]

Glenn Greenwald of Salon magazine and Mark Adomanis of Forbes praised the show and condemned the detractors writing for New York Times and The Guardian.[23][24] Assange himself wrote a column published as a WikiLeaks press release that parodied some of the criticism.[25]
