> CITIZENFOUR is a real life thriller, unfolding by the minute, giving
> audiences unprecedented access to filmmaker Laura Poitras and journalist
> Glenn Greenwald’s encounters with Edward Snowden in Hong Kong, as he hands
> over classified documents providing evidence of mass indiscriminate and
> illegal invasions of privacy by the National Security Agency (NSA).

> Poitras had already been working on a film about surveillance for two
> years when Snowden contacted her, using the name “CITIZENFOUR,” in January
> 2013.  He reached out to her because he knew she had long been a target of
> government surveillance, stopped at airports numerous times, and had
> refused to be intimidated. When Snowden revealed he was a high-level
> analyst driven to expose the massive surveillance of Americans by the NSA,
> Poitras persuaded him to let her film.

> CITIZENFOUR places you in the 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 not only shows you the dangers of governmental surveillance—it
> makes you feel them. After seeing the film, you will never think the same
> way about your phone, email, credit card, web browser, or profile, ever
> again.
