Snowden This movie is all about Edward Snowden, a former CIA and the most recent US whistleblower. The movie revealed lots of his private life with his girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, but more importantly, his work for the US government and how depressed he felt when his work betrayed his beliefs in openness and honesty.  From this movie, I gained a better insight about nowadays advanced technology. Individuals can be surveilled any time with their computer whether it is desk top or mobile device. The government is capable of using the built-in camera to take picture and video of them or hijacking their earphone to eavesdrop on the conversation. Even if the device is shut down, the authority can hijack and reawaken their phone. With the specialised computer used by the CIA, they can therefore access pretty much everything about an individual from the massive database or an instant track on them.  ​​ I really appreciated Edward Snowden's great and brave action and his accountability for others' lives. In order to inform the public of how they are governed in a way that everything about them is secretly recorded and watched, he decided to tell the truth to the media and sacrificed his stable life and bright future in the US. I also admired his integrity and that he advocated for what he believes to be right to do.
