I just finished watching yesterday's TimesTalk  with Edward Snowden, Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald moderated by the late (as of last evening) great David Carr. I think everyone should watch it so I'm posting the link here: http://timestalks.com/laura-poitras-glenn-greenwald-edward-snowden.html  If you watch to the end, which I expect you will, Poitras and Snowden both offer up specific ways to protect internet privacy. 

In my not so humble opinion, CitizenFour is the best film of last year, perhaps of the last several years. The collective intelligence and social/moral responsibility of Edward Snowden, Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald is stunning. 

I don't really care if it wins an Academy Award because I think the people who have seen it and who are going to see it will, whether it gets an official stamp from the Hollywood community or not.   Sadly, those who were not interested before are not likely to develop an interest if it wins an Oscar. But for anyone who hasn't been able to see it in a movie theatre, it's going to air on HBO on February 23rd at 9pm.
