Filmed largely in a Hong Kong hotel room, Citizenfour captures Edward Snowden as he reveals classified information about global surveillance programs. The camera observes tense conversations, moral uncertainty and the personal consequences of exposing state secrets. Citizenfour is both a political thriller and a rigorous work of investigative cinema. Urgent, restrained and deeply influential, it reshapes documentary practice and public debate around privacy and power in the digital age. The film won an Academy Award for Best Documentary.
‘Watching Citizenfour is like seeing history write itself in real time — tense, unsettling, and morally complex.’ - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
