We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks is a new documentary about the genesis of Julian Assange’s website and soldier Bradley Manning‘s controversial document dump, which exposed U.S. security secrets on WikiLeaks.

Today, Mashable is offering an advance stream of the dramatic soundtrack to the film, featuring music by Brooklyn artist collective Fall On Your Sword.

The film was directed by Alex Gibney, who won Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards in 2007 for Taxi to the Dark Side. The documentary on WikiLeaks premiered at Sundance earlier this year and releases to the public on May 24.

In addition to Gibney’s documentary, a Wikileaks film titled The Fifth Estate is in production and aiming for a November release. It stars Star Trek Into Darkness‘s Benedict Cumberbatch as Assange. Oliver Stone recently met with Assange and described the films as “unhappy” portrayals of WikiLeaks and the site’s founder.

We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks Original Motion Picture Score comes out May 21 on Back Lot Music but is available to pre-order now [iTunes link]. Below, check out the film’s trailer and let us know what you think of the soundtrack in the comments.
