Vertigo Releasing has revealed a trailer for Tina Satter’s directorial feature debut Reality.
Adapted from the FBI interrogation transcript of intelligence whistle-blower and former US Airforce member Reality Winner and the 2019 play Is This a Room, the drama stars Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria, The White Lotus) as Winner and tells the story of the 25-year-old woman who stirred up a storm when she leaked a classified government report on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections to the media. Watch the trailer below…
On a Saturday afternoon in June 2017, 25-year-old Reality Winner is confronted at her Georgia home by the FBI. A cryptic conversation begins, and Reality’s life quickly begins to unravel…
Adapted from her 2019 stage play Is This a Room, Satter creates a tense thriller using dialogue taken directly from the FBI’s transcript of the gruelling interrogation that followed. By turns nail-biting, darkly funny and surreal, the film boasts a sensational performance from Sydney Sweeney as the first whistle-blower in the Trump era.
Reality arrives in cinemas on May 29th in the US, and on June 2nd in the UK.
