The incredible true story of a young woman who stirred up a media storm when she leaked a classified report to the press. Satter creates a tense thriller using dialogue taken directly from the FBI’s transcript of the interrogation – alternately nail-biting and banal, darkly funny and surreal. A complex portrait emerges of an American millennial, yoga teacher, and veteran who would become the first whistleblower of the Trump era.
