Laura Poitras Collection [DVD]

Product Information

It happened right after Thanksgiving and I was in the middle of drafting an op-ed for the New York Times about the Espionage Act and Julian Assange. I was planning to publish it in December, so I felt this would have been distracting as these communities are crisscrossed. I just didn’t want to have two public statements out there. What I wanted to say about Julian Assange was really important and I didn’t want to take any attention off that. So I started writing my statement and then I made the decision not to release before the holidays. And then … well, you know. The beginning of the year has had other news with higher priorities. In the time I spend with Poitras, this moment would strike me as the most touching. All these years later, she still seems genuinely surprised by what she’s found in herself. She’s an inward person who has thrust herself outward into the world, perhaps against her nature. It’s a stretch, maybe a painful one, but inside that stretch is Poitras’s particular genius—the solitary artist who plants herself in the center of unfolding history. “I’m a different person, holding a camera. I’m normally pretty shy. I don’t actually love to travel,” she tells me. “But I love doing this work. And when I’m doing work, I have to put those things aside.”

Poitras was one of the founding editors of the online newspaper, The Intercept. [16] On November 30, 2020, Poitras was fired by First Look Media, the parent company of The Intercept, allegedly in relation to her criticism of The Intercept's handling of the Reality Winner controversy. [17] [18] Early life [ edit ] Poitras authored a documentary called Risk, on the life of Julian Assange. According to Variety, the film shows Assange is "willing to put everything on the line, risking imprisonment and worse to publish information he believes the public has a right to know".

The filmmakers created a safety net. “Nan and I could speak really freely,” said Poitras. “And she would have an opportunity later before it would be shared with anyone wider to see if there was anything that went too far. And when we had a cut, before we showed even Diane, nobody saw anything until Nan could have the opportunity to hear. There wasn’t really anything that she asked us to remove from the film.”

Citizenfour is a documentary about Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor, who had leaked classified information about the agency's surveillance practices to the media after working in Geneva. Poitras was one of the journalists who worked with Snowden to publicize the information along with journalist Glenn Greenwald. [60] The movie premiered on October 10, 2014, at New York Film Festival. In 2014, Poitras told the Associated Press she was editing the film in Berlin because she feared her source material would be seized by the government inside the U.S. [61] Film executive Harvey Weinstein said Citizenfour had changed his opinion about Edward Snowden, describing the documentary as "one of the best movies, period." [62] Sí, no em podia limitar al dolor. Hi ha molta tragèdia a la vida de la Nan, però al seu treball hi ha molta bellesa també. I aquest és el poder de l’artista a la societat, ser una força moral i traçar un camí. I quan vaig llegir aquestes paraules a l’informe de la Barbara, el cor se’m va aturar.
