Citizenfour is a movie about a woman named Laura who was creating a documentary on the 9/11 terrorist attacks and what could have led to it. She then received an eerie email from someone by the name of Citizenfour in the government intelligence community informing her that everything she does is being monitored by the US. Laura decided to meet with them and goes to Hong Kong to discover it is really Edward Snowden, a former CIA worker who revealed some of the United States’ most kept intelligence secrets. When his identity is revealed, he is threatened with prosecution in the United States and gets his passport banned so he gets stuck in Moscow. Laura meets him again in Russia further discussing US intelligence programs but are much more careful this time. They only communicate by writing back and forth on paper and afterwards are shown tearing the paper to shreds. I think this movie was an example of just how far journalists will go to get the best story they can. Laura went to Hong Kong to meet a man she had just gotten an interesting email from to learn more for her story.
