On November 01, 2016, will be released in FRANCE the controversial Biopic 'Snowden', about the story of Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency subcontractor who exposed government surveillance activities to the world, making him a hero to some and a traitor to others.

Oliver Stone said at a press conference at Toronto Film Festival about his Film 'Snowden' : 'Americans don´t know anything about it because the government lies about it all the time,'... 'What´s going on now is pretty shocking. This story not only deals with eavesdropping but mass eavesdropping, drones and cyberwarfare. As Snowden said himself the other day, “˜It´s out of control, the world is out of control.''

'Obama could pardon him and we hope so,' he said. 'But he has vigorously prosecuted eight whistleblowers under the espionage act, which is an all-time record for an American president, and he´s been one of the most efficient managers of this surveillance world. It is the most extensive and invasive surveillance state that has ever existed and he´s built it up.'

'I grew up in a world where I never thought this could happen,' he said. 'But from 2001 on, it´s very clear that something radical has changed. There´s more to it that meets the eye and whatever they tell you, you´ve got to look beyond.'
