Edward Snowden Doc Premieres: Shocking inside look- all roads lead to POTUS
Edward Snowden Doc Premieres: Shocking inside look at how
he did it

Citizen Four is the shocking doc about Edward Snowden
made by Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras. Just screened tonight was the two
hour film will be released by the Weinstein Company this month. It doesn’t
paint the Obama administration in a very good light as Snowden explains how the
government has violated privacy rights on a massive scale.
Also the filmmakers clearly inducate that all roads lead
to POTUS, a fairly serious accusation. There may be serious repercussions.
Then there’s the Hollywoodization of Snowden. The detail
of how and why Snowden went about this is pretty surprising considering how the
29 year old former NSA employee says he wants his own privacy and not to be a
celebrity. It’s instructive to see his evolution from eyeglass wearing nerd to
contact lenses and moussed up hair sporting hero of his own thriller. It’s all
very Tom Cruise. Even the beautiful girlfriend sets up housekeeping with him in
Moscow. Nevertheless as the details of the NSA’s programs are revealed Snowden
says, “This isn’t science fiction. It’s really happening.”.
