Sounds bad but that is the cold reality. Snowden, Assange, Ross or anyone else who puts themselves on the line to go against the establishment inevitably end up isolated or incarcerated. Those are just the cases that gain attention. The numerous whistleblowers and truth-seekers within society/ organizations who choose to do the "right thing", almost always pay the price for not compromising with their consciences.

Just hope that the movie will actually treat him as the brilliant, idealistic kid he was who ended up playing someone else's game of intimidation and reprisal.
