Reality + Recorded Q&A

On June 3, 2017, 25-year-old Reality Winner returns from running errands to find two FBI agents at her home in Augusta, Georgia. An Air Force veteran and yoga instructor, Winner spends the next two hours being questioned about her work as an intelligence contractor – specifically, whether she leaked a classified document about Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections.

With all dialogue taken from the FBI transcript, Reality tells the tense, mesmerising story of what transpired inside Winner’s home that afternoon. As she navigates the federal agents’ questions, Winner is revealed to be a fairly typical 20-something: She treasures her pets, loves to travel, teaches CrossFit, shares selfies on social media.

Written and directed by Tina Satter in a powerful feature film debut, Reality stars Sydney Sweeney (“Euphoria,” “The White Lotus”) as Reality, Josh Hamilton (EIGHTH GRADE, “The Walking Dead”) as Special Agent Garrick and Marchánt Davis (THE DAY SHALL COME, TUSCALOOSA) as Special Agent Taylor.

Reality examines truth, power and the U.S. legal system through the lens of one intimate, disconcerting and very real encounter, provoking conversations that endure long after the final frame.
