When 25-year-old NSA contractor Reality Winner leaked a top-secret document on Russian interference in the 2016 US Elections, it sparked a media firestorm and congressional outrage over the withheld information. Winner’s actions were the catalyst for critical election reform but also solidified her as the primary target of a Trump administration eager to prosecute whistleblowers. Armed only with claims she acted in the public’s interest, she defends herself against accusations of being a traitor.


Virtual screening window begins at 10am on Monday, October 11th and will be live for 48 hours.
