Assange hits out at WikiLeaks film

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has hit out at a Hollywood film about his organisation as a "massive propaganda attack" against the whistle-blowing site.

In a speech to the Oxford Union from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on Wednesday, he revealed he had acquired a script of the film, starring British actor Benedict Cumberbatch.

Holding the script, he said the film, being released in the US in November, was also an attack on Iran.
