Reality    [trailer]

Story that is based on transcribed interviews with whistleblower Reality Winner - the air force veteran who leaked information about Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

With her naïveté and her simple, straightforward thinking it's at times difficult to watch how the FBI guys are taking her for a ride. But it's a very interesting approach for a film.

She was sentenced to five years and three months in prison. A very harsh sentence for what she did.

Compare that with the highly preferential treatment that the Orange cult leader receives who constantly whines about "unfairness" after storing hundreds of classified documents in boxes in one of the garish bathrooms of his beach club.

Who knows, if Winner was constantly telling brazen lies, commit sexual assault, lie about about her real estate deals, maybe she too could've been the presidential candidate of the GOP. She also could've scammed enough money from her cult followers to pay her legal bills.

Side note, you can download the transcript of the audio recording here.

Reality (dir. Tina Satter).

Sydney Sweeney stars more than capably as the eponymous [Reality] Winner in a truly unsettling, naturalistic performance. She starts off as a seemingly unremarkable office worker and Air Force veteran before slowly unravelling under questioning as we learn more about her role in altruistically releasing classified government materials to the media.

REALITY, and Leak That Changed America

Director: Tina Satter Starring: Sydney Sweeney,  Josh Hamilton, Marchánt Davis The real story of Reality Winner is one crystallized in amber; the casualty of a bizarro   time American political history.
