THE CONVERSATION: Risk: Julian Assange film by Laura Poitras blurs the line between film and filmmaker

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

Laura Poitras’s new documentary, Risk, has all the conspiracy and paranoia you could wish for – much of it behind the camera as well as on screen. The latest film from this Oscar-winning filmmaker, billed as a “personal and intimate” character study of Julian Assange, is arguably more notable for the inside story of its making than it is for any unmasking of the founder of WikiLeaks.
