Matt Damon: Snowden did a great thing
Commenting on the CIA fugitive Edward Snowden in a TV interview I conducted for my BBC show, Alternative Cinema, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, Matt Damon said that Snowden did a great thing. “If we are going to trade our civil liberties with our safety, then that is a decision we have to make collectively,” he remarked.
The full interview can be seen on BBC Arabic TV Saturday, 24th August at 7:06pm, Monday 10:10pm and Thursday 10:10pm (UK Time). It will also stream live on bbc.co.uk/arabic and will be available online to catch up on http://youtu.be/Ex0uEqexOGU after its first broadcast.
Matt Damon played a CIA agent in several movies, including The Bourne series and The Good Shepherd.
His new movie, Elysium, has been released this weekend in the UK.
