Whether you call him a traitor or a hero, Edward Snowden exposed the rampant illegal surveillance by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Obama administration that is still creating ripples of distrust with our Intelligence Community.
Directed by the auriferous Oliver Stone who has tackled historically problematic issues from the time he got behind a camera, Snowden is no exception as he brings life into an otherwise flat story about espionage and betrayal. He focuses on the struggles Edward has in withholding the truth to his girlfriend and uses The Guardian hand-wringing as a backdrop.
Synopsis: The politically-charged spy thriller reveals the incredible untold personal story of Edward Snowden, the controversial figure who exposed shocking illegal surveillance activities by the NSA and became one of the most wanted men in the world. A hero to some and a traitor to others, the provocative story of what led him to that fateful decision makes for one of the most compelling and important stories in recent history.
