Filmmaker Laura Poitras, whose documentary about fugitive intelligence leaker Edward Snowden won an Oscar, is seeking the release of six years of records that document how she was searched, questioned and sometimes held for hours at U.S. and foreign airports.
Luke Harding, the author of "The Snowden Files: The Inside Story Of The World's Most Wanted Man," said on Twitter that the U.S. filmmaker has bought the movie rights to the book.
