HBO’s new film adapts the transcript from the FBI’s interrogation of Reality Winner, a 25-year-old intelligence linguist who leaked a report about Russian interference in America’s presidential election of 2016
200,000 classified documents about government mass surveillance to two reporters. The resulting documentary, “
” , paints Mr Snowden as prudent and self-sacrificing; the viewer admires, perhaps grudgingly, the hacks’ diligence. “Official Secrets” is a more dramatised picture: Keira Knightley plays Katharine Gun, a translator working at. In 2003 Ms Gun leaked a classified memo to the press about an operation to gather intelligence that would help America bully members of theSecurity Council into authorising the invasion of Iraq. Between scenes of her fervently shouting at the television and fooling around in bed with her curly-haired husband, a daring and principled warrior emerges.
These movies present their protagonists in a way that may be at odds with the public’s perception of whistleblowers. Americans of all political stripes were split in 2014 as to whether Mr Snowden had served or harmed the public interest;most thought the government should prosecute him. As for Ms Winner, a court sentenced her in 2018 to 63 months in prison, the longest penalty ever imposed for an unauthorised release of classified information to the media.

The perfect PSU for your silent gaming PC build just became a realityDave has been gaming since the days of Zaxxon and Lady Bug on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 (Death Race 2000!). He built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 16, and finally finished bug-fixing the Cyrix-based system around a year later. When he dropped it out of the window. He first started writing for Official PlayStation Magazine and Xbox World many decades ago, then moved onto PC Format full-time, then PC Gamer, TechRadar, and T3 among others. Now he's back, writing about the nightmarish graphics card market, CPUs with more cores than sense, gaming laptops hotter than the sun, and SSDs more capacious than a Cybertruck.
