Reality Winner Director Sonia Kennebeck

Reality Winner is an incredible documentary about one of the youngest whistleblowers in US history, and now she's finally able to tell her own story. At the age of 25, Reality Winner was sentenced to 63 months in prison, the longest ever imposed in federal court for an unauthorized release of government information to the media. And after following her story for 5 years, director Sonia Kennebeck has revised her original documentary (United States vs. Reality Winner) to include exclusive footage of Reality's release from prison (on June 2nd, 2021) and her first official interview. Sonia shares her feelings during that first initial interview, the complications of being an investigative journalist in the age of misinformation, and why Reality calls her film a "living documentary".
