External Reviews
“A blow-by-blow account of the Bush administration’s embrace of potentially illegal spying/eavesdropping techniques, President Obama’s decision to continue them (despite campaign promises to the contrary) and, most compellingly, those who sought to blow the whistle on government overreach, culminating with Edward Snowden’s unprecedented dump of classified documents.”
–Variety
“If you want the complete picture surrounding Edward Snowden and the National Security Agency, PBS’ Frontline documentary United States of Secrets is where you should start.”
–Business Insider
“For those interested in a balanced chronology of the surveillance program, ‘Frontline’ uncovers a story that runs deep and, in its early stages, remarkably narrow.”
–New York Daily News
