Politically outspoken director Oliver Stone called Edward
Snowden a "hero" during a Fourth of July appearance at the Karlovy Vary
International Film Festival. The Oscar winner also blasted President
Barack Obama for his "George Bush-style eavesdropping techniques,"
calling the controversies a "disgrace."
Stone attended the festival to screen episodes of "Oliver Stone’s Untold History of the United States," his 10-episode documentary series that depicts the country from World War II through the War on Terror. The event also screened "Scarface," which Stone wrote, and the "ultimate" cut of the director's critically panned 2004 epic "Alexander."
The director, also known for "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July," warned those who attended his press conference -- mostly European journalists, according to The Wrap -- that "we need countries to say no to the United States."
"The world is in danger with our tyranny," Stone said.
