Snowden - Teaser Trailer

In June 2013, a high-flying 29-year-old government employee named Edward Snowdon suddenly found himself the most wanted man in the world after leaking classified documents from the US government to the media. An intelligent young man, whose army career at just 20 led him to join the CIA and eventually become an NSA contractor where he was faced with what he deemed as seriously questionable ethics from his colleagues, and those above him. Disturbed by the lies spoken by those around him and with a direct concern for the welfare of the people, he sought justice. He knew what such a move would entail, and indeed he was accused of being a traitor when the government tried to suggest that his actions had a negative impact on their counterterrorism programmes, but he knew he couldn't watch the citizens of Earth be continually deceived.

Shot in Washington, D.C., 'Snowden' is the true story of a man who wanted to justice for all, and was willing to sacrifice everything he had. Based on the books 'The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man' by Luke Harding and 'Time of the Octopus' by Anatoly Kucherena, the film has been directed by triple Oscar winner Oliver Stone ('Platoon', 'JFK', 'Natural Born Killers') who co-wrote the screenplay alongside Kieran Fitzgerald ('The Homesman', 'The Ballad of Esequiel Hernández'). 'Snowden' is due to be released in the US on December 25th 2015.
