New documentary shows moments surrounding Snowden leak

A new documentary has captured Edward Snowden’s leak of National Security Agency documents as it unfolded in a Hong Kong hotel room.

Laura Poitras’ highly anticipated documentary Citizenfour, which premiered at the New York Film Festival, presents a remarkably intimate portrait of Mr Snowden, including his first meetings with the journalists with whom he shared thousands of documents revealing the collection of Americans’ phone and email records.
