劳拉·珀特阿斯因導演《第四公民》被大众所知。这部影片将關註到另一个在互联網掀起巨浪的人——朱利安·阿桑奇。在一个小小的建筑中被围困了五年, 即使他面临法律上威胁,阻止他所领導的组织和运動, 朱利安•阿桑奇也沒有被吓倒。通过拍摄这部影片,導演劳拉發现自己困在了阿桑奇的動机、矛盾和内心之间。 Filmed over six years, Risk (2016) is a character study that collides with a high stakes election year and its controversial aftermath. Cornered in a tiny building for half a decade, Julian Assange is undeterred even as the legal jeopardy he faces threatens to undermine the organization he leads and fracture the movement he inspired. Capturing this story, director Laura Poitras finds herself caught between the motives and contradictions of Assange and his inner circle.
