About this movie

In 2013, NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked a large number of classified documents to the media, exposing the U.S. government’s covert surveillance activities. Some call the whistleblower a hero, while others call him a traitor. Spanning his time in the Army, the CIA and the NSA, Snowden uncovers the extent of the government’s spying programs, coming to the realization that the public’s understanding of privacy is far from the truth. His acts have been classified as treason and have made him one of the most wanted men in the world. (Original Title - Snowden) - 2016 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.

Good intro into the subject, unfortunately didst state out right that what the US Government was allowing: A weapon of WAR being used against innocence. With most US citizens you really got to spoon feed information to the American public as well as most other people. Kept calling it spying, no no no what the intelligence community was doing is not a gentle as spying its espionage IT IS A ACT OF WAR. Which if you know anything about the US Constitution, US citizens no longer have normal rights anymore. But like i said a good starter into the subject. I also took a screen shot of credits near the end "...Actual Historical Events."

True enough and well done enough to be worth a rent. I'm sure there are two sides to the story but regardless, Snowden now stands for something greater than himself or his actions. The true battle of our world. The struggle between the haves and have not. The powerful and powerless. The weak and strong. The scariest future I can think of for our children is an all powerful few who automate vast islands of manufacturing, maintained by but a few. Who control everything and can drone target anyone in the world that might oppose them. With no oversight, no check and balance and no limit to their power we will all be rendered true slaves.

This guy needs to be hung. Should have just walked away. I'll take my security, Unlike this fool I have nothing to hide from the man. If they want to watch my phone and computer I could care less!
