REALITY
On June 3, 2017, 25-year-old former American intelligence specialist Reality Winner is confronted by
FBI agents arriving at her home. Based on true events, the dialogue from Tina Satter’s debut film starring Sydney Sweeney is taken directly from the transcript of tense, transfixing conversation from that day.
Twenty-five-year-old Reality Winner is confronted at her home by the FBI. A cryptic conversation begins and soon Reality’s life starts to unravel. With all dialogue taken directly from the FBI’s transcript of the interrogation — alternately nail-biting and banal, darkly funny and surreal — we track one woman’s experience of the U.S. government at work. And as more details of Reality’s life are revealed and more armed men arrive, a complex portrait emerges of an American millennial, yoga teacher, and veteran under siege.
