Risk should be a boring movie. Sure, its the latest documentary from Academy Award-winner Laura Poitras, but its also about WikiLeaks. Havent we all had enough of Julian Assange and his cadre of world-warping weirdos? The thing is, youve never seen Assange like this. Youve never seen him up close and ugly. And thats exactly why you must see Risk.Due to reasons, the specific version of Risk that I saw this week is not the same version that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in March of 2016. Those reasons most prominently include WikiLeaks role in the 2016 election and former WikiLeaks representative Jacob Appelbaums sexual misconduct scandal. After the premiere, Poitras and company added additional footage addressing these developments, footage that I believe makes the film much more powerful. Having never seen the cut showed at Cannes, I cant say exactly whats different, but I can say the version of Risk that hits theaters May 5 is phenomenal.
