Tasha McCauley is certainly harder to pin down than Helen Toner, who is a straight-up national-security academic. But, there’s McCauley’s company GeoSim Systems, which does geospatial modeling and was founded by the ex-head of R&D for the Israeli air force. Her husband actually traveled to Moscow to meet Snowden, who worked for the NSA, which does geospatial intelligence. The making of the film was surrounded by subterfuge, her husband’s grandfather was on McCarthy’s Hollywood blacklist, actors (like journalists) can be good partners for spy agencies… The covert world is a web that we are all caught in, but some people are more entangled than others.
