Review of Risk

An incredibly important documentary about the most important person in the world for journalism. I commend Poitras for being honest throughout her background dialogue, especially towards the end. The film could've pushed further, but unfortunately, Poitras has taken a huge risk with her life put in jeopardy. The film has achieved enough for the viewers to look into the matter further with Assange being forcibly taken out of the Ecuadorian Embassy. Lastly, it is also important to highlight that Poitras did a great job (as usual) exposing the powers that are preventing us from having real free speech, which is vital for a functioning democracy.
