Terminal F: Chasing Edward Snowden

Released in 2015 and directed by John Goetz and Poul-Erik Heilbuth, Terminal F: Chasing Edward Snowden is a gripping feature-length documentary that reconstructs the tense weeks Edward Snowden spent in Hong Kong and Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport Transit Zone after leaking classified NSA documents in June 2013. Combining dramatic reenactments with exclusive interviews (including Snowden himself, his father Lon Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, Julian Assange, former NSA Director Michael Hayden and WikiLeaks staff), the film chronicles the global manhunt, the revoked U.S. passport, the cancelled flights and the diplomatic scramble that finally led to temporary asylum in Russia. It offers a minute-by-minute thriller-style account of one of the most significant whistleblower stories of the 21st century.
