CITIZENFOUR director to debut documentary series on Julian Assange
Before she started filming Edward Snowden for her Oscar-winning documentary CITIZENFOUR, director Laura Poitras was busy with another controversial (though admittedly less likable) leaker living in exile: Julian Assange. Poitras has been working on a documentary about the Wikileaks founder since at least 2012; in fact, it was an early outtake, posted to The New York Times website, that led Snowden to contact the documentarian.
