A highlight from Amy Goodman's interview with filmmaker Laura Poitras about the making of “Citizenfour,” her documentary about Edward Snowden. Watch the full interview: http://owl.li/JpCPk Laura Poitras: “There are people that allow me to document and who put their lives on the line. I hope that the film shows the risk that these people take and that people should stand up for them and that this is information that the public should know. And it’s people who are having to take personal sacrifice to share information that the public should know.” Democracy Now!, is an independent global news hour that airs weekdays on 1,300+ TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
