US director Oliver Stone takes aim at state-sponsored citizen
surveillance in his new film "Snowden". Having met with the man himself
in Russia to prepare the film, he traces the NSA recruit’s journey from
patriot to whistleblower.
The Academy Award-winning filmmaker talks to Olivia Salazar-Winspear about cyber warfare, policing the digital space and how the war in Vietnam was a turning point in his personal and political life.
Oliver Stone believes US President Barack Obama should pardon Edward Snowden, who is considered a traitor by US authorities. "Pardoning the man who helped America look at itself" would be "a note of grace" for Obama to end his presidency on, he told FRANCE 24.
