Director: Loura Poitras, recipient of the MacArthur Genius Fellowship and the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Executive Producer: Steven Soderbergh

“Unique in the history of cinema, Poitras brought her camera, and the series of tense encounters in a real-life thriller unfolding before our eyes.

“A real life international thriller that unfolds by the minute. This gripping, behind-the-scenes chronicle follows Laura Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald’s remarkable encounters with the whistle-blower Edward Snowden as he hands over classified documents that provide evidence of illegal invasions of privacy by the NSA.

“Transcends ideology to offer riveting, must-see cinema.”

Bonus: New York Times Talk with Laura Poitras, Glenn Greenwald, Edward Snowden and David Carr; Film Society of Lincoln Center Q&A with Laura Poitras.
