Reality Winner, a former translator for the US National Security Agency, is met by two FBI agents on her doorstep. They are convinced that it was the blonde, totally not looking like a spy, who leaked to the press a top secret report on the interference of Russian hackers in the U.S. presidential election. The interview becomes more and more absurd by the minute...

While the action unfolds over less than two hours in a semblance of real time, the spiral of tragedy feels full-bodied, no matter where you stand on Winner’s actions.
— David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
There is not a single fictional word in the film: the script completely repeats the authentic text of Winner’s interrogation in the FBI. A small episode of recent political history turns into a fascinating thriller and at the same time into a statement about the bitter price of true patriotism.
