În Iunie 2013, Laura Poitras și reporterul Glenn Greenwald au zburat la Hong Kong pentru prima din numeroasele întâlniri cu Edward Snowden. Ea și-a adus camera video cu ea. Filmul care a rezultat din această serie de întâlniri tensionate este absolut sui generis (de genul său) în istoria cinemaului: un emoționator 100% din viața reală desfășurându-se minut cu minut înaintea ochilor tăi. Poitras este un făcătoare de filme grozavă și curajoasă, dar ea este de asemenea și o povestitoare iscusită: ea strânge multe zile de întrebări, așteptare, confirmare, privind reacția lumii și agonizând pentru următoarea mișcare, intr-un studiul al caracterului lui Snowden și o poveste care te va lăsa la marginea scaunului tău în timp ce merge implacabil către concluzia lui.
