Terminal F: Chasing Edward Snowden
In late June of 2013, Edward Snowden vanishes into the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport while US officials publicly brand him a coward and a traitor. The film reconstructs those weeks through journalists, diplomats, and intelligence figures who tracked the leaked NSA documents as they rippled outward, along with the reporters who chased rumors of Snowden's exact location as governments scrambled to intercept him. Interviews trace the diplomatic pressure applied to countries considering asylum, the canceled flight of Bolivia's president after suspicion he was smuggling Snowden aboard, and the standoff between Washington and Moscow over extradition. Rather than re-litigating whether Snowden is a hero or a criminal, the film stays close to the logistics of a single fugitive case: the airport terminal he could not legally leave, the passport the State Department revoked mid-flight, and the countries that quietly closed their airspace. It is a procedural account of a manhunt playing out through embassies and airline routes instead of borders and badges.
