good for you!
Great film about a great man.
Unfortunately what he did was all in vain IMO.
It's strange to think back to the pre-Snowden era, where most were not aware of the surveilance state and how it was build without consulting the public in our "democracies" and compare to today, where it has become clear that the surveilance state is non-negociable, and the public has accepted it.
Democracies don't need surveilance apparatuses on the inside. In fact these things are mutually exclusive.
Yet all the rulers in the western "democracies" are clammering for them. (and the non-western countries mostly always had them)
The post-democratic era has began and no-one can stop it.
This is NOT going to end well...
