Edward Snowden: the most audacious whistleblower in US history

A year ago, no one had heard of Edward Snowden.

Not even Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who, together with his colleague Laura Poitras, was to become the conduit for the most wide reaching and shocking case of whistleblowing in US history: the National Security Agency surveillance scandal.

This week on the Reality Check Saturday Special, Glenn Greenwald talks about how he met Snowden, why he decided to work with him to explose the NSA, the impact it has had on his life, and why journalism itself is at a crossroads.
