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

[Dan Massoglia]

Would love to see the Poitras; heard mixed things abt 5th Estate but I
guess it's worth a watch. Another book rec along the lines of
whistleblowing, crypto history, the mechanics of secrecy, and parsing DDB's
story is Andy Greenberg's "This Machine Kills Secrets." He's at *Wired* now,
*Forbes* before that.
