[Crypto-chi] movie that may be of interest to this group

[brian]

I've seen the fifth estate, it's nothing but hollywood garbage. In my
opinion of course. If you want a decent film go find a copy of War Games!

Some reading you might be interested is Daniel Domscheit-Berg's book
called ' /Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World's
Most Dangerous Website' /[0] and is the basis of the fifth estate movie.
The book is controversial from many points of view, but, is worth your
time to tie some stuff together.

Another read I would recomend is Jullian Assange's 'Cypherpunks' [1].
And if you want some early hacking/cypherpunks history check out
'Underground' [2] by Suelette Dreyfus and Jullian Assange.

If you haven't seen Citizenfour [3] I highly recommend you do, it's a
great documentary of real events that actually transpired and a core
reason we're all talking about government abuse of technology,
cryptography and so much more. Soderbergh and Laura Poitras [4]
co-produced Citizenfour. Poitras is a great film maker and should be
celebrated with her work as a journalist. Her other works include 'The
Oath' [5] and 'My Country My Country' [6] both films I have mentioned at
previous cryptoparties. Must watch films indeed.

A note on the name; Citizenfour is the pseudonym Snowden used when he
first reached out to Laura Poitras.

ATB,
