Glenn Greenwald to recount NSA story in new PBS Frontline film Glenn Greenwald to recount NSA story in new PBS Frontline film
(about 7 hours later)
Former Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald this week published his account of how he came to receive and report on a trove of top secret documents from the National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, in a new book, No Place to Hide. For the past year, the Guardian has reported on how the NSA turned its eye on ordinary American citizens after 9/11, creating a massive surveillance dragnet to collect and monitor the communications of millions— without warrants, under a legal authority that hadn’t existed before.
In the first episode of The United States of Secrets, a landmark two-part series for Frontline on PBS, Greenwald tells of how he almost missed the scoop of the decade. Now, Glenn Greenwald, Ewen MacAskill, Luke Harding and others tell the story behind the NSA revelations in a new Frontline documentary, United States of Secrets: Part One, airing Tuesday night at 9pm ET on PBS (you can watch a preview above). The documentary dives into “The Program” of surveying millions of Americans, and how it came to be. Why did the government keep it hidden from the people it was meant to protect? What happened to the whistleblowers who spoke out against it? And how does government surveillance affect the average American?
Part one of the United States of Secrets airs Tuesday night at 9pm ET on PBS. Following the broadcast, join us here on Wednesday May 14 at 2pm ET/7pm GMT for a live chat moderated by Guardian US national security editor Spencer Ackerman, featuring United States of Secrets producer Mike Wiser and NSA whistleblower Kirk Wiebe. They'll take your questions on surveillance, Snowden, secrecy, and more.
