Meeting Snowden (2017)

At the heart of geopolitical turbulence, America's most notorious whistleblower, Edward Snowden, finds himself in greater peril when whispers of his potential handover to Donald Trump by Russia echo unrelentingly. "Meeting Snowden" takes us into a clandestine gathering of three distinguished global freedom advocates - Snowden, Birgitta Jonsdottir, and Larry Lessig - as they delve into an impassioned discourse on the future of democracy. Jonsdottir, an influential figure in Iceland’s parliament since 2009, has devoted her life to amplifying the people's voice and democratizing the political process. Lessig, a Harvard law professor, tirelessly exposes the corrupt entanglement of money in American politics, and the insidious collusion of elites against the public interest. The trio, in the face of their personal battles, allow the lenses to capture an extraordinary dialogue on the enduring pillars of democracy, the remaining paths of opportunity, and the crucial choices that lie ahead. They grapple with profound questions that command global attention: Can democracy be resurrected? What binds us together? How do we discern the death of democracy? "Meeting Snowden" is a riveting exploration of these vital questions, immersing viewers in a world where the fight for democracy is far from over and each individual holds the power to make a change.
