r - We are Edward Snowden, Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald

"Well, when we look back on history, the progress of Western civilization
and human rights is actually founded on the violation of law. America was
of course born out of a violent revolution that was an outrageous treason
against the crown and established order of the day. History shows that the
righting of historical wrongs is often born from acts of unrepentant
criminality."

Official Discussion: Snowden

So how do you tell Snowden's story for casual viewers who if they don't know Snowden, definitely won't understand intelligence jargon? You need to convey the gravity of what Snowden did. So you tell the story of what led to what he did as well as the sacrifices and risks that he took.

I saw CitizenFour and while that was a great way to show the events of the leak and the immediate aftermath, this side of the story had been not told.

So Stone had to make Snowden relatable and likeable while giving casual viewers and followers a story that they could follow to understand the impact of what he did. And also package it nicely for a release in the middle of election season to hopefully re-spark this debate.
