“If you’re not fighting for the things you care about, you’re losing”

Australian editor, publisher, and cypherpunk activist Julian Assange is the subject of the 2016 documentary film by Laura Poitras titled Risk. Assange is quoted:
   
“The risk of inaction is extremely high. And every day you live your life, you lose another day of life. But the risk of just sitting down, you just lost a day. You just died a day. You don’t have that many. So if you’re not fighting for things you care about and every day you’re disappearing, then you are losing.”

Wikipedia: Julian Assange
Julian Paul Assange (/əˈsɑːnʒ/ ə-SAHNZH; né Hawkins; born 3 July 1971) is an Australian editor, publisher, and cypherpunk activist. He was convicted in Australia for hacking in 1996. He founded WikiLeaks in 2006; the organisation came to international attention in 2010 when it published a series of leaks provided by U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning. After the 2010 leaks, the United States government launched a criminal investigation into WikiLeaks.
 
Wikipedia: Risk (2016 film)
Risk is a 2016 American documentary film written and directed by Laura Poitras about the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. It was screened in the Directors’ Fortnight section at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. Originally titled “Asylum”, the film becomes a journey into Poitras’s disillusionment with Assange. In the 2016 version of the film, Poitras presents a more sympathetic position towards Assange. The 2017 re-cut version focuses more on a critique of Assange as a flawed character, including his alleged sexual assaults and his “troubling” statements about women and responses to accusations against him.
