Sydney Sweeney
Premiering Mon., May 29, 10 p.m. on Max
The truth doesn’t always set you free! In 2017, a former
American intelligence officer named Reality Winner
(Euphoria’s Sweeney) came back to her Georgia home to
find a team of FBI agents at her door. As her house was
searched, the suspected whistleblower was questioned
about her alleged involvement in leaking documents that
revealed Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
The entire script is taken word for word from a transcript
of FBI recordings — and Sweeney is riveting throughout
the intense interrogation.
