so where can I download this because there's no way to watch it or buy it.

You can watch it in a movie theater. http://www.moviefone.com/movie/citizenfour/20058402/showtime...

HBO is also showing it, http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/citizenfour, but if you just want to watch it without paying anything for it, there should be illegal copies available through torrens.

You can watch it for free, legally. They have released the film to the public.

Do you have a link to a more 'official' announcement of this, please?

Excellent! Because I would hate to pay a nominal sum to people risking their liberty, and perhaps even their very lives, to spread the word about government abuses that threaten the future of not merely the 300-plus million people living in this country but people from around the world, too. Can we get more of this?

For anyone in the UK it will be shown at 11.05pm Wed 25 Feb on Channel 4.
