This is great. Now, how can I get to see this movie here in Tokyo? It doesn't look like any screening is planned in Japan, and most people here don't seem to care the issue.

The movie was entered into public record (https://twitter.com/Cryptomeorg/status/566616227582582785 & http://cryptome.org/2015/02/edwards-019-027.pdf): http://cryptome.org/Citizenfour-HD.7z & http://cryptome.org/Citizenfour.7z

People here are too busy sharing their lives' private details on unencrypted LINE services.

I think the culture of mutual trust is a good thing in Japan, but unfortunately that's prone to abuse.

I wonder in what world you could think about trusting politicians to do the right thing. Even in Japan.

Kickass.to but maybe some arthouse cinema will show it (there probably is little interest in this though as Japanese people think very insular).

You are probably going to have to pirate it. Despite it's importance, I haven't seen it becoming very popular even in the US. It is mostly playing alternative movie theaters, and not that often.

Oscar bump should call up some courage of theaters to be screening it more. You never know with indie films, and documentaries especially are on no predictable timeline for distribution.

It will be playing on HBO in the US Monday night. I for one am looking forward to seeing it, and will probably show it to friends via HBO Go. However, I have no idea if HBO will be showing it internationally.

Average joe doesn't read wired or the new york times and if he has heard about any of the leaks, he probably thinks "I have nothing to hide so no big deal - USA number one!".

Cinema chains probably don't want to piss off big gov either and the owners are usually politically involved too.
