Citizenfour, officially selected for both the BFI London Film Festival, and the New York Film Festival this year, was directed by Oscar-nominated Laura Poitras. In January 2013, Poitras was making a film about abuses of national security in post 9/11 America when she started to receive encrypted emails from “citizen four,” the man who turned out to be Edward Snowden. This real-life thriller follows Poitras, reporter Glenn Greenwald and Snowden himself in a series of tense encounters, resulting in a unique and explosive film.
