I am writing to you about CITIZENFOUR, the explosive and riveting documentary, giving audiences unprecedented access to filmmaker Laura Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald’s encounters with Edward Snowden in Hong Kong, as he hands over classified documents providing evidence of mass indiscriminate and illegal invasions of privacy by the National Security Agency (NSA). Here is the trailer for the film: https://youtube/watch?v=XiGwAvd5mvM CITIZENFOUR is playing in the Twin Cities at Brooklyn Center 20 and Edina 4. Ive included more info about the film below my signature. I was hoping you might be able to spread the word about the screenings via social media channels or by newsletter. We can also discuss the possibility of group-sale tickets, if you felt like you could arrange for a group of your colleagues or students to attend a specific screening. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support!

Poitras had already been working on a film about surveillance for two years when Snowden contacted her, using the name “CITIZENFOUR,” in January 2013. He reached out to her because he knew she had long been a target of government surveillance, stopped at airports numerous times, and had refused to be intimidated. When Snowden revealed he was a high-level analyst driven to expose the massive surveillance of Americans by the NSA, Poitras persuaded him to let her film. CITIZENFOUR places you in the room with Poitras, Greenwald, and Snowden as they attempt to manage the media storm raging outside, forced to make quick decisions that will impact their lives and all of those around them. CITIZENFOUR not only shows you the dangers of governmental surveillance—it makes you feel them. After seeing the film, you will never think the same way about your phone, email, credit card, web browser, or profile, ever again.
