A Good American

How our security was sold for money

A sobering documentary about institutional betrayal and the suppression of a constitutional surveillance tool, driven by themes of greed, conspiracy, and the erosion of privacy rights.

A Good American tells the story of the best code-breaker the USA ever had and how he and a small team within NSA created a surveillance tool that could pick up any electronic signal on earth, filter it for targets and render results in real-time while keeping the privacy as demanded by the US constitution.
