Frequently Asked Questions
What is A Good American about?
A Good American tells the story of Bill Binney, a cryptologist and analyst who spent 30 years at the National Security Agency (NSA) as a technical director. With a small team within the NSA, Binney developed a sophisticated surveillance program called ThinThread, capable of picking up any electronic signal on earth, filtering it for targets, and providing real-time results while protecting privacy. However, three weeks before the 9/11 attacks, the NSA shut down ThinThread, and Binney resigned in protest. The documentary raises questions about why the program was abandoned and who was behind its suppression. Through interviews with Binney and other former NSA officials, as well as reenactments, A Good American uncovers a disturbing tale of corruption and the suppression of an alternative to mass surveillance that could have prevented the September 11 attacks.
