Is This A Room (2*)

The story of Reality Winner, literally and figuratively, performed by excellent actors who stick to the verbatim transcript of Ms. Winner's arrest for leaking evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 American election.   It certainly works as an indictment sexist intimidation and federal government overreach during Agent Orange's administration--Winner got the longest sentence (63 months) ever imposed for leaking--but I can't say that I enjoyed it.  And while I'm sympathetic to Winner, I have a hard time understanding why a woman as intelligent as she didn't "lawyer up" from the get go.
