A GOOD AMERICAN

SYNOPSIS

The mass surveillance and wiretapping revealed by Edward Snowden in 2013 is not the first scandal in the history of The National Security Agency (NSA). The Good American, a journalistic documentary-thriller, reveals an alarming story about corruption, lies and selfish ambitions of individuals, as a result of which a multiple useful and cheap monitoring system, which would potentially prevent terrorist attacks, was rejected just three weeks before 9/11.
