Edward Snowden
Audience
The entire world, for it was not only the US doing this activity, but also the entire world for each and every government have teamed up to do this.
Purpose
Was to inform the public of how every government in the world have worked together to invade the publics privacy by tracking each and every move they make in their life. They also record every conversation they have had starting from emails to phone calls to text messages.
Rhetorical Choices
Not many were used to be honest for it was a documentary solely to show how a man had opened the eyes of the public about what their government is doing.
Misinformation
In the movie William Binney had fully supported Snowden, but is false in his interview by USA Today and said he was turning from a whistleblower to a traitor for also leaking other information such as USA hacking into China.
About 1.77 million documents were stolen by Snowden but only 200,000 documents were presented to Laura and Glenn in early June 2013.
