An evening with Edward Snowden in Australia

Posted in Shows on April 19, 2016

In an age of government surveillance and data retention, individual privacy is threatened and swift justice is dealt to those who interfere with the workings of national security and intelligence.

Few who risk their freedom exposing the secrets of the government dodge the repercussions, and for their own survival are forced to flee to tell their story.

This is the story of Edward Snowden.

Think Inc is an "edu-tainment" company that specialises in bringing prominent intellectuals to Australia for speaking tours.

Their latest venture is a virtual tour by Snowden, currently in hiding in Russia and one of the most wanted men on the planet, who will appear via video link at an event called "An evening with Edward Snowden."

The controversial conqueror of social justice will enlighten audiences on how he did what he did, and most importantly, why he did it.
