Susanna Fogel – “Winner” & Telling Stories Through a Female Lens | The Daily Show

Award-winning director Susanna Fogel sits down with Desi Lydic to discuss her latest film, “Winner,” based on the life of Reality Winner. They talk about Reality’s journey from military translator to government whistleblower, telling her story and getting to know her personally, focusing on stories that haven’t been shown through a female lens, and reinventing the whistleblower film through a relatable, funny character, like Reality in real life.

It's pure math, if you're looking for stories that haven't been told, it's almost certainly going to be a woman.

It's a selling point that Trump is not in the movie, advertise that and sell 30% more tickets.

I hope the patriot whom the movie is based on is getting a fat check tho. Sounds incredible! Will give it a watch for sure.
I think the best point Fogel made is: we need more everywoman stories. Art reflects life, and I hope this means progress is being made!

Five years & a few months for ONE report. Exposing the truth. Punished by GOP for unmasking Trump as a seditious Russian collaborater, interfering w/the election. A traitor on January 6. How many docs taken by the FBI at Mar-a-Largo?
So, 5 to the power of 50.8? Trump should be sentenced to 50 years & 8 months in federal prison.
Yes, committed a crime; served her time. For a noble reason.

off the chart interview skills Desi!!! Loved the dig as the only female late night 'chair' in the industry.

Females are known for talking way too much…and mainly just using fillers instead of real content.
Always amusing to watch such women trying to connect even the simplest socket properly. Most of women are such liars.

I got tossed for someone lieing about me not paying my bills and argueing with my wife…
I got tossed for being an "insider threat" !!!
I couldnt find an attorney to argue my side,,, and just gave up!!!

The friction between revealing confidential government documents and the public’s right to known that the government is lying to them is so critical today and has been so for years. For example Trump and the mysterious disappearing binder of materials relating to ‘Crossfire Hurricane.’

Just wanted to say I'm a childless woman and I always wanted that when I was 16 and I'm 64 now. Give this woman a cat any day. LOL. And I promise I won't eat them. LOL Just ask my little kitten

Definitely a must-watch for me. When I've heard about Reality Winner before, it was always in some ambiguous context where I didn't know what to believe. Her atypical name also makes you wonder if she's a real person. "How can you say I'm not real when my name is Reality!"

I wish you had named the film in the intro and throughout the clip and finally at the end of the piece, when you really should have reiterated the name of the film and how viewers could find it and watch it. Shame on the Daily Show!

Once again great to see one woman support another and be so positive. Women need to run the world. We might have a chance for a habitable planet with no wars.

Not Familiar with the guest. She looks like a mix between "Tina Fey" and "Zooey Deschanel".🤨🤔
(both talented ladies)
