First Tuesday Presents “Citizenfour” Nov. 3

"Citizenfour" is a documentary about Edward Snowden and his blowing “the whistle on the massive covert surveillance programs run by the NSA and other intelligence agencies.”

The film is presented by First Tuesday Social Justice Films. Admission is free; refreshments are provided. Audience discussion follows. R rated for language, 1 hr. 54 min.

After Laura Poitras received encrypted emails from someone with information on the government's massive covert-surveillance programs, she and reporter Glenn Greenwald flew to Hong Kong to meet the sender, who turned out to be Edward Snowden.

“The film that resulted from this series of tense encounters is absolutely sui generis in the history of cinema: a 100% real-life thriller unfolding minute by minute before our eyes. Executive producer by Steven Soderbergh.” Rotten Tomatoes http://citizenfourfilm.com.

This presentation is co-sponsored by the UUCOC’s Social Justice Ministry and is operated by volunteers. Dec. 1, the First Tuesday will present Iris. For more information about the film series, visit http://www.firsttuesdayfilms.org/index.shtml or http://www.facebook.com/firsttuesdayfilms.
