Snowden

In Maryland, Edward Snowden works in IT for a company that collaborates with United States intelligence agencies. He is a highly skilled professional, and his day-to-day work involves managing systems that he himself begins to view with suspicion. Meanwhile, he is in a relationship with Lindsay Mills, who keeps him company in a seemingly calm life. His job exposes him to surveillance programs that reach citizens around the world, and Snowden begins to wonder how far the government goes and what is done with all that information. He wants to understand what lies behind the tools he uses every day. His doubts clash with the loyalty he feels toward his country and the atmosphere of secrecy he moves in, and that tension between duty and conscience is the starting point of the story.
