From the Academy Award-winning director of CITIZENFOUR Filmed over six years, RISK is a character study that collides with a high stakes election year and its controversial aftermath. Cornered in a tiny building for half a decade, Julian Assange is undeterred even as the legal jeopardy he faces threatens to undermine the organization he leads and fracture the movement he inspired. Capturing this story, director Laura Poitras finds herself caught between the motives and contradictions of Assange and his inner circle.

"RISK is a messier, weirder, and more interesting documentary than Citizenfour, about a messier, weirder, and more persistently relevant man" - Josephine Livingstone, NEW REPUBLIC

"An essay on the many ways someone who speaks truth to power can also abuse it personally, politically, through speech, actions and insinuations" - David Fear, ROLLING STONE

"A searing portrait of Assange" - Eric Kohn, INDIEWIRE
