Citizenfour Trailer

I go by Ed.

- Sir, I don't know your name. - Oh, sorry.

I... My name is Edward Snowden.

Edward Joseph Snowden, that's the full name.

I work for...

So I don't know anything about you.

Okay.

Laura,

From now, know that every border you cross,

every purchase you make, every call you dial,

every cell phone tower you pass, friend you keep,

site you visit, subject line you type, is in the hands

of a system whose reach is unlimited but whose safeguards are not.

In the end, if you publish the source material,

I will likely be immediately implicated.

I ask only that you ensure this information

makes it home to the American public.

Thank you and be careful.

Citizen Four.

at this stage, I can offer nothing more than my word.

I hope you understand that contacting you is extremely high risk.
