One of the most influential and timely documentary films in recent history, the critically acclaimed 2014 Academy Award® winner for Best Documentary Citizenfour arrives on Blu-ray™ and DVD August 25th from Anchor Bay Entertainment and RADiUS. Just as the controversial US Patriot Act was to expire on May 31, 2015 the US Senate voted to pass the US House version of the USA Freedom Act, the successor to the Patriot Act, which saw three of its major sections end, one of which was the mass surveillance of all Americans. Shortly thereafter, President Obama signed the bill into law. Edward Snowden and the events documented in Citizenfour were a powerful catalyst in calling attention to the unlawful surveillance of Americans by their government.

Citizenfour is a real life international thriller that unfolds by the minute. With unprecedented access, this gripping behind-the-scenes chronicle follows award winning director Laura Poitras - previously nominated for My Country, My Country and journalist Glenn Greenwald’s remarkable encounters with whistleblower Edward Snowden in a Hong Kong hotel room as he hands over classified documents that provide evidence of mass indiscriminate and illegal invasions of privacy by the National Security Agency (NSA). The film not only shows the dangers of governmental surveillance, but also makes audiences feel them. After seeing the film, viewers will never think the same way about their phone, e-mail, credit cards, web browser or digital footprint again.

Executive Produced by Steven Soderbergh, (Traffic, Erin Brockovich) Citizenfour – in addition to taking home this year’s Academy Award, also won the Independent Spirit Award, Gotham Award, BAFTA and DGA among others. It was heralded Best Non-Fiction Film from The New York Film Critics Circle, Boston Society of Film Critics and Lost Angeles Film Critics Association and Best Feature from the International Documentary Association.

Special features on the Blu-ray™ and DVD include:
* Bonus Scenes
* New York Times Talk with Laura Poitras, Glenn Greenwald, Edward Snowden and David Carr
* Film Society of Lincoln Center Q&A with Laura Poitras
* “The Program” - A New York Times Op-Doc by Laura Poitras

Citizenfour will be available on Blu-ray™ and DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment on August 25th for the suggested retail price of $26.99 and $22.98, respectively.
