And let's be clear about her motive -- she wanted to alert the media that the FBI had proof Russia had interfered in the 2016 US election on behalf of Trump.

In other words, she saw it as her patriotic duty. Compare and contrast with Trump.

Winner is a brilliant young misfit from Texas who finds her morals challenged while serving in the U.S. Air Force and working as an NSA contractor.

Uses a much different approach than Reality. More satirical, which is more conventional but it makes for an entertaining watch.

While that way it doesn't necessarly do justice to the personal fate of Reality Winner, it still works well in exposing the hypocrisy of the US justice system.

Just compare this case with the special treatment the convicted felon received who stored countless boxes of classified material in his tacky bathroom, and we'll never find out to which countries he possibly sold the information to.

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. Can you recall the meltdown surrounding Russian interference in a certain election circa 2016-2017? What about the wide breathe of reactionary content birthed in the wake of investigation? If…

REALITY:

Interrogation

Why did she leak documents?

Backed into corner

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.
