Review of Citizenfour (2014) by Laura C — 31 Dec 2014

Riveting! Witness Edward Snowden upending his life as he hands over the evidence of NSA spying on EVERY American to the news media. More engrossing than the most chilling spy flick because it's real. It's YOUR life the government is recording and storing in huge data banks.

But do citizens or congress even question this completely illegal hacking to pieces of our constitution and, hence, our freedom? No. Our cult of personality instead makes us question the man who uncovered the spying. We persecute the whistleblower, forcing him to live in *Russia* to avoid arrest. (Talk about irony!).

If you care about America and what makes us free, don't miss this film. Watch it with your family, your neighbors, and DISCUSS whether you want the government recording your every phone call, text message, email, and web search.
