journalists in each country to make their own assessment, independent of my bias, as to whether or not the knowledge of U.S. network operations against their people should be published." So as late as June 14th, Snowden was still reading and assessing the files he had stolen from the NSA four weeks earlier.
Poitras vetted the Lam interview. Soon afterwards she suspected that she was being followed. That was likely since by this June 14th all the intelligence services in Hong Kong knew that she was in contact with Snowden. "I was being tailed," she recalled in an interview with a Vogue reporter in Berlin in 2014. "The risks became very great," she said in describing her situation in Hong Kong. So, on June 15th, she left Hong Kong and flew back to Berlin, where she began editing her footage of the Snowden interview.
Meanwhile, Snowden was organizing his own exit from Hong Kong. He placed a call to Julian Assange.
