In reply to the discussion: Not good: REPORT: RUSSIA, CHINA CRACK SNOWDEN DOCS [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)57. No, no, you REALLY want to watch the movie!
What could be more unbiased, more no-holds-barred, more downright truthy than a film directed by Linda Poitras and starring Glenn Greenwald - the two "dinsinterested" parties who have made Snowden into their personal cash cow?
If you like comedy, you'll LOVE "Citizen Four". It's full of intriguing dialogue, like "I'm being followed." "Really?" "Yes." "Oh."
Of course, there is never any follow-up actually proving - or even any facts that vaguely hint at proving - such cloak-and-dagger hijinks actually took place. But for the faithful, no actual facts are necessary. Just saying so on-screen is sufficient.
The fact that anyone would direct you to this film as being the "real story" behind Snowden's actions speaks for itself.

I still don't believe the ends support the means here, there was a better way other than running to

Even if half true it's 100% bad, Snowden could've raised attention to this matter in a legal way

You do not know the meaning of haphazard. The journalists he chose was deliberate.
