National Security expert Bill Arkin, military analyst Tyler Rogoway and special guest, Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Judith Miller to talk Ed Snowden and the NSA’s massive secret surveillance program revealed in CITIZENFOUR.

The Academy Award winning 2014 documentary that takes you right into the escape of Edward Snowden and the mindset of his accomplices and handlers — Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras. Poitras was working on a film about post-9/11 surveillance when Snowden — “Citizen Four” — contacted her. Others had written about, even blown the whistle on the NSA, but Snowden brought out the goods: 1.77 million Top Secret documents, certainly the largest public haul of any insider. The rest is history still in the making.
