Dr.Docs' Take

Another angle on Snowden, focused on the extraordinary global manhunt launched to catch one contractor who walked out of Hong Kong with the NSA's secrets. I keep watching versions of this story because the reaction is the tell. Governments do not scramble jets and revoke passports over a man with nothing worth hiding. The size of the response is a confession, and I never get tired of pointing that out.

This documentary revisits the case of Edward Snowden, the contractor who leaked details of American mass surveillance and triggered a global manhunt in 2013. It follows the diplomatic scramble to capture him and the debate over whether he was a traitor or a whistleblower. Through the fallout, the film weighs national security against privacy and the public's right to know. It is a sharp examination of secrets, surveillance and the price of exposing them.
