Julian Assange: Why the world needs WikiLeaks

Gayla Benefield was just doing her job until she uncovered an awful secret about her hometown that meant its mortality rate was 80 times higher than anywhere else in the U.S. But when she tried to tell people about it, she learned an even more shocking truth: People didnt want to know. In a talk thats part history lesson, part call-to-action, Margaret Heffernan demonstrates the danger of "willful blindness" and praises ordinary people like Benefield who are willing to speak up. (Filmed at TEDxDanubia.)

This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxDanubia, an independent event. TED editors featured it among our selections on the home page.
