CITIZENFOUR

Language: ENGLISH



Duration: 114 minutes

Citizenfour is a documentary film about the Edward Snowden and the National Security Agency (NSA) spying scandal in the United States. The film chronicles filmmaker Laura Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald’s encounters with Edward Snowden in Hong Kong, as he hands over classified documents providing evidence of illegal invasion of privacy by the NSA.

Laura Poitras had already been working on a film about surveillance for two years when Edward Snowden contacted her, using the name “Citizenfour” in January 2013. The filming mostly takes place in a room with Poitras, Greenwald, and Snowden as they attempt to manage the media storm raging outside, forced to make quick decisions that will impact their lives and all of those around them.

Citizenfour won the Oscars for the best documentary feature in 2015.
