Dr.Docs' Take

Laura Poitras, the filmmaker who helped bring Snowden's revelations to the world, on her new work about surveillance and the machinery of state power turned inward on its own citizens. I trust Poitras because she has been proven right about exactly this before. When the person who exposed the last surveillance scandal warns about the next one, I lean in hard. Watch it for a serious, credentialed conversation about where the watchers are pointing now.

The killing of two US citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis has made January a dark month for many across America. Both Alex Pretti and Renee Good were quickly labeled “domestic terrorists" by the Trump administration, which accused them of endangering the lives of law enforcement. Video evidence soon appeared to contradict government claims, but it’s still a label that filmmaker Laura Poitras says she finds chilling.
