WHO IS HE?: He is a whistleblower responsible for exposing the NSA stealing our private information (on a mass scale). This happened almost a decade before Edward Snowden did it.
WHY MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT HIM?: There’s something eerily cinematic (think The Insider or JFK) about an every man, working as a technician for AT&T, discovering something deeply sinister happening under his (and the public’s) nose. Even eerier was that the amassing of “private” information, not only from AT&T customers but people around the globe, was all happening inside a single room (“641A”), where it had access to internet traffic on a global scale.
