Citizenfour is a gripping documentary that reveals the shocking revelations of Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor turned whistleblower. The film captures the historical events that unfolded when filmmaker Laura Poitras and journalists Glenn Greenwald and Ewen MacAskill meet Snowden in Hong Kong in 2013.

The documentary begins with Poitras receiving encrypted e-mails from an anonymous source, who reveals himself as CITIZENFOUR and claims to possess evidence of illegal surveillance programs conducted by the NSA and other intelligence agencies. Intrigued and determined to expose the truth, Poitras brings her camera along to capture the unfolding events.
