Watch Snowden after watching The Lives of Others
This film is a perfect companion to The Lives of Others (from Germany). It reveals that invasive state security is not an outdated institution confined to the old Soviet-bloc, but something that still happens today. Will whistle-blower Edward Snowden be celebrated in decades to come for his bravery or will he continue to be victimised?
Why Watch Snowden?
- You’re a fan of 1984
- You have heard of Edward Snowden but don’t know enough about him to keep a debate going
- Do you want freedom or security? Watch this film to find out.
- For a dramatized and Hollywood-friendly version of Citizenfour
Anyway, as this is not a foreign or indie film, I’m not going to write another small essay. But, as it’s relevant to one of the other films I have recommended on this site, I’ve included it here in case you want to follow up your interest! Plus it is a good film with a good insight into one of the most controversial figures in politics.
