Storia
The story follows Edward Snowden, a disillusioned CIA employee who becomes aware of the NSA's mass surveillance program targeting ordinary American citizens while working as a top contractor for the agency. Struggling with his conscience and idealism, Snowden decides to leak thousands of classified documents exposing this unconstitutional activity. This act makes him a traitor in the eyes of some and a hero to others, ultimately forcing him into exile and making him a fugitive from American law.
Riassunto
Directed by Oliver Stone, 'Snowden' (2016) is a political thriller based on true events. The film explores themes of idealism, corruption within the intelligence community, and the moral complexities surrounding whistleblowing. It provides insight into one of the most significant leak cases in U.S. history, involving the National Security Agency's mass surveillance program, known as PRISM. Although the movie sparked controversy due to its portrayal of Snowden and the events leading up to his leaks, it serves as a catalyst for discussions on privacy rights and government overreach.
