Edward Snowden changed the world when he leaked information about the National Security Agency’s sweeping surveillance of ordinary people’s everyday communications. Several years ago, when our case against mass surveillance finally reached the Supreme Court, it was dismissed for lack of evidence of the secret programs. Snowden provided that evidence, at great personal risk.
Snowden is a politically-charged, pulse-pounding thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley. It reveals the incredible untold personal story of Edward Snowden, the polarizing figure who exposed shocking illegal surveillance activities by the NSA and became one of the most wanted men in the world. This is the epic story of why he did what he did, who he left behind, and how he pulled it off, making for one of the most compelling films of the year.

Note: As with most screenings, because the film’s producers are concerned about piracy, they will be checking in phones with cameras as you enter the auditorium. Please either leave your phone in the car or check it in prior to the screening to be picked up afterwards.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at the ACLU screening of Snowden!
