On June 3, 2017, 25-year-old former American intelligence specialist Reality Winner is confronted by FBI agents arriving at her home to question her suspected role in the mishandling of classified information. Based on true events, the film’s dialogue is directly from the transcript of their tense and transfixing conversation. Written and directed by Tina Satter and based on her 2019 play, “Is This A Room,” the film stars Emmyó nominee Sydney Sweeney (HBO’s “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus”) and debuted to rave reviews at the 2023 Berlin International Film Festival.
Cinereach co-financed the production of Reality, alongside Burn These Words, In The Cut, Fit Via Vi and Tanbark. Reality premiered at Berlin International Film Festival 2023.
