Hello all,
This week, in lieu of a presentation, we will be viewing the documentary
"Citizenfour" (2014).
Citizenfour is a 2014 documentary film directed by Laura Poitras,
concerning Edward Snowden and the NSA spying scandal. The film had its
US premiere on October 10, 2014, at the New York Film Festival and its
UK premiere on October 17, 2014, at the BFI London Film Festival. The
film features Snowden and Glenn Greenwald, and was co-produced by
Poitras, Mathilde Bonnefoy, and Dirk Wilutzky, with Steven Soderbergh
and others serving as executive producers. Citizenfour received critical
acclaim upon release, and was the recipient of numerous accolades,
including the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 2015
Oscars. -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4044364/
We are very excited to be able to use this opportunity to further help
our members understand the impact that this incident continues to have
on tech in this era. Students who were around in Spring 2016 will
remember that Snowden spoke to the student body that year, upon the
release of the feature film that dramatized the events surrounding the
incident. This is not that film. This is Laura Poitras' first-hand
documentary of her meeting and initial interactions with Snowden. In
many ways, this is more powerful than anything Hollywood could cobble
together - real life usually is. We hope you enjoy the film.
