In the official trailer to the movie ‘Winner’ directed by Susanna Fogel, a young American child, oddly named Reality Winner (portrayed by Emilia Jones), watches the unfortunate attack on the Twin Towers in New York City on television with her family. Shortly after the opening frame, she’s seen outside in her backyard with her father — aiming and shooting her target with a light pink rifle. To which, she narrates and says, “To some folks, trying to see both sides of a conflict is “un-American… I’m as American as it gets.” According to the movie description, she 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 intriguing title is over an hour (103 minutes) and is not rated. The title comes out on September 13, 2024 — in select theatres and on-demand.
