Showtime Documentary Films will release RISK, the latest documentary
from Academy Award winner Laura Poitras (CITIZENFOUR). Filmed over six
years including through the 2016 presidential election and up to the
present moment, RISK takes viewers closer than they have ever been
before to Julian Assange and those who surround him. With
unprecedented access, Poitras give us the WikiLeaks story from the
inside, allowing viewers to understand our current era of massive
leaks, headline-grabbing news, and the revolutionary impact of the
internet on global politics. RISK is a portrait of power, principles,
betrayal, and sacrifice when the stakes could not be any higher. It is
a first-person geopolitical thriller told from the perspective of a
filmmaker immersed in the worlds of state surveillance and the
cypherpunk movement. RISK confirms Poitras' directorial ability to
record history as it unfolds on camera, and craft narratives at the
highest level. Showtime Networks has partnered with NEON to release
RISK theatrically nationwide, with a television premiere on SHOWTIME
this summer.
