I thought to give some room for other people to chime in, but I can't help myself to also recommend Chasing Edward Snowden documentary. This is such an interesting topic...
This movie briefly covers NSA analyst-turned whistleblower Edward Snowden and his escape from American authorities to Hong Kong and later to Russia, after leaking classified information about global surveillance programs used by the American government to spy on people around the world and other nations activities. The movie also presents the journalists who had an exclusive access to Snowden and also the members of WikiLeaks, who helped him in moments of his escape.
I really enjoyed Citizen 4 - looks like very similar in topic:

Same. That's why I am offering sats to anyone who can find something that's new to me. It's working too! Got a few hours of doc watching ahead.

I find that this is actually producing the intended results to be fascinating, and wrote a couple paragraphs on it in the Daily discussion thread.
