Last year we saw Reality, which starred Sydney Sweeney as Reality Winner, and now we have Winner, which stars Emilia Jones. The former dealt with the aftermath of her actions, this new film appears to deal with what she did.

Based on a true story, Reality Winner (Emilia Jones) is a brilliant young misfit from a Texas border town who loves her pink gun almost as much as helping others. After teaching herself Arabic in high school so she can be of service in the Middle East, Reality is recruited by the Air Force but quickly becomes disillusioned when she finds her morals challenged. After transitioning to a money gig as an NSA contractor, Reality stumbles upon government secrets regarding Russia’s election hacking during the 2016 Presidential campaign. Does she expose the truth or keep quiet? Ultimately, she decides to leak the truth leading to her trial and historic sentencing for espionage.

The film also stars Connie Britton, Danny Ramirez, Kathryn Newton, and Zach Galifianakis.

Susanna Fogel directs and the film hits cinemas on 13th September 2024.
