A former collaborator of the CIA and the NSA, Edward Snowden obtained precarious political asylum in Moscow after revealing mass surveillance in the United States. Since the election of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin could hand him over to the new President of the United States as a sign of alignment. It is in this context that Snowden secretly meets two other prominent figures of the global movement defending civic rights and freedoms: Larry Lessig and Birgitta Jónsdóttir.
