Risk
How much of your own life are you willing to risk
Directed by Laura Poitras
Produced by Field of Vision, First Look Media
An immersive, morally complex documentary that captures the paranoia and contradictions surrounding WikiLeaks and surveillance, leaving fundamental questions about truth and power deliberately unresolved.
Capturing the story of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange with unprecedented access, director Laura Poitras finds herself caught between the motives and contradictions of Assange and his inner circle in a documentary portrait of power, betrayal, truth and sacrifice.
