Snowden wrote to ACLU on seeing the news</a> on television:
<blockquote>
<p> “When Laura Poitras asked me if she could film our encounters,
I was extremely reluctant. I’m grateful that I allowed her to
persuade me. The result is a brave and brilliant film that
deserves the honor and recognition it has received. My hope is
that this award will encourage more people to see the film and
be inspired by its message that ordinary citizens, working
together, can change the world.”</p>

<p>By Rainey Reitman | (EFF) –</p>
<p>CITIZENFOUR, Laura Poitras’ riveting documentary about Edward
Snowden’s efforts to shed light on gross surveillance abuses by
the United States government and its partners, just won the 2014
Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Tonight’s Oscar win
recognizes not only the incredible cinematography of Poitras, but
also her daring work with a high-stakes whistleblower and the
journalism that kick-started a worldwide debate about surveillance
and government transparency. We suspect this award was also, as
the New York Times <a href="http://carpetbagger.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/20/category-close-up-citizenfour-leads-the-race-for-best-documentary/?_r=0" target="_blank">pointed
out</a>, “a way for Academy members to make something of a
political statement, without having to put their own reputations
on the line.”</p>
<p>We’re thrilled to see Poitras take home this prestigious award.
CITIZENFOUR distilled a multi-year battle against untargeted
surveillance and delivered it to the world with a compelling human
interest story. The work of Poitras, Snowden, and journalist Glenn
Greenwald helped shape the political course of nations across the
globe. That’s worth at least an Oscar.</p>
<p>This award means that more people will be no doubt be watching
CITIZENFOUR, and thus learning about both Snowden’s sacrifice and
the surveillance abuses by the United States government. For those
watching the movie for the first time, there’s often a sense of
urgency to get involved and fight back against mass untargeted
surveillance. Here are some suggestions for getting started:</p>
<ol>
<li>Tell President Obama to <a href="https://act.eff.org/action/tell-obama-stop-mass-surveillance-under-executive-order-12333" target="_blank">amend
Executive Order 12333</a>, which is the primary legal
authority the NSA uses to engage in surveillance of people
worldwide.</li>
<li>Start <a href="https://ssd.eff.org/" target="_blank">using encryption</a>
when communicating digitally.</li>
<li><a href="https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-my-phone-calls-are-my-business-reform-the-nsa" target="_blank">Speak
out against reauthorization of a much-abused section of the
Patriot Act </a>which is set to expire this summer.</li>
</ol>
<p>And as always, help promote freedom online by <a href="https://supporters.eff.org/donate" target="_blank">becoming a member of
EFF</a>.</p>
<p>We extend our congratulations to Laura Poitras and everyone who
helped create CITIZENFOUR.</p>
