The correct answer is Edward Snowden.

‘Citizenfour’ is a 2014 documentary film directed by Laura Poitras about Edward Snowden and the NSA surveillance revelations. It chronicles Poitras’s meetings with Snowden in Hong Kong as he exposes classified information about global surveillance programs. The film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 87th Academy Awards ceremony in 2015.

Laura Poitras was one of the journalists contacted by Edward Snowden, along with Glenn Greenwald and Ewen MacAskill. The film’s title comes from the pseudonym Snowden used when he first contacted Poitras. While Laura Poitras is a central figure in the documentary’s narrative, the film’s subject matter is the story of Edward Snowden and his leaks.
