The new documentary 1971, about the formerly anonymous
FBI burglars who exposed the crimes of former FBI director J. Edgar
Hoover, debuted to a rapt audience at the Tribeca film festival last
night. As the filmmakers noted in an interview
with the AP, the parallels between Nixon-era FBI whistleblowers and
Edward Snowden's NSA revelations are almost eerie in their similarity.
But while the NSA connection seems obvious, the movie will actually shed light on the domestic intelligence agency with far more power over ordinary Americans: the modern FBI.
