Laura Poitras, a documentary filmmaker who specializes in surveillance, was chosen by Edward Snowden to film his interview in Hong Kong. Above is a short documentary she made for The New York Times Op-Ed page in August about William Binney, a 32-year veteran of the National Security Agency turned whistle-blower. 

Binney explains how the program he created for foreign intelligence gathering was turned inward on the United States of America. He is among a group of N.S.A. whistle-blowers, including Thomas A. Drake, who have each risked everything—their freedom, livelihoods and personal relationships--to warn Americans about the dangers of N.S.A. domestic spying.
