This documentary has it all. The narrative is compelling, but honest to the reality it portrays. The work on the documentary began before the Snowden files started leaking, and it gives you an unprecedented look into how it all came about. It gives you an understanding of who Edward Snowden is and why he did what he did. He was not just some guy who stumbled over something he realized that someone else might find useful. He knew exactly what he had, and what to do about it.
And not only this: The documentary manages to convey the significance of the leak. What power the information held, and just how bad the NSA is.
The only negative thing I can say about it is that it opens a bit slow, and the technical aspects of it might scare of some viewers.
It's amazing that this is the world we live in. Snowden is a hero.
