Avindu G @RT86379654 6h It's an opportunity to educate or recall how events unfolded during and after the exposè by Edward Snowden. It's a real-life record about the difficulties of bringing difficult truths to the light. Whistleblowing often focuses on the news bearer but we see how journalists put everything on line as the carriers and the awareness raised by experts help in spreading the impact. Audience would surely be thankful to everyone involved in bringing the truth to us after watching this film.

See more Dylpickle08 T @RT50423702 08/10/2024 This film is a documentary about CitizenFour, better known to the public as Edward Snowden, a federal whistleblower who leaked information that revealed the government's violations on security and privacy. It depicts one on one interviews, and shows how he and a group of reporters released this information, and the dangerous situations it put them in. Overall due to the dramatic reenactments, key information, and importance to our everyday lives, this movie was both entertaining and educational and felt like you were in the interview room yourself.

I hope that those exposed will have to be held accountable for their actions and that our elected leaders will protect American freedoms and rights, including privacy. Shame on Obama for going against his promises. As a film it was reasonably well made. It was confusing at times with who the people they were referencing are, but it still manages to get its point across. It could have been more effective, but then it probably would have had to have been more dramatized. Saw on Tubi.

Massive respect for the brave hero of out story.
