Oliver Stone on the Personal Inspiration Behind 'Snowden' ─ VICE

VICE News reporter, Jason Leopold, sits down with Academy Award winning director Oliver Stone, a man who never shies away from political controversy.

In his most recent film 'Snowden', Stone tells the story of the polarizing NSA employee who leaked classified documents to the public. Edward Snowden is viewed as a hero by some and as a traitor by others; Stone says he hopes to provide the information viewers need to make their own decision.
