Here's the First Trailer for the Chelsea Manning Documentary, XY Chelsea
Entertainment
Showtime has finally released the first trailer for its upcoming Chelsea Manning documentary, XY Chelsea, which is set to premiere on May 1 at Tribeca Film Festival.
The documentary, directed by Tim Travers Hawkins and executive produced by Laura Poitras, who also worked on the Edward Snowden documentary Citizenfour, seems like it will be a meditation on the idea of battle and the toll a decade of constant battle has taken on Manning. It begins with war footage, and in a voiceover, Manning addresses her time in the military by saying, “I didn’t pull the trigger, but I put the guy who pulled the trigger there.”
