Three years after CitizenFour, her revolutionary documentary about Edward Snowden, filmmaker Laura Poitras has turned her attention to another controversial figure whos fought for government transparency: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. <\/p>\n

Poitras explosive new movie, Risk, opened in select theaters in May. The following month, Assange and his organization issued a cease-and-desist letter attempting to stop the release of Poitras film an incongruous move given WikiLeaks creed. <\/p>\n

Risk airs Saturday on Showtime, and HuffPost is premiering a trailer that features a new interview with Poitras, filmed less than two weeks ago. <\/p>\n

He is brave and self-sacrificing and quite brilliant, and then youll also hear this other part that is egotistical or condescending, Poitras says in the trailer, referring to her experience capturing Assange in the wake of his scandals. They both exist. <\/p>\n

Risk airs July 22 at 9 p.m. ET on Showtime. <\/p>\n
