Citizenfour, hailed the year’s Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars, is 114 minutes of masterful, chilling storytelling that takes us into the clandestine meetings and encrypted emails between Glenn Greenwald, Ewen MacAskill, Laura Poitras and Edward Snowden in the months leading up to the whistleblower’s world-changing NSA leak. The HBO film, a crucial supplement to the countless reports we’ve since seen about our government’s mass surveillance operation, is so important that online library ThoughtMaybe has made the film available online for free. Watch it here.
