Doco about two young, idealistic, political protesters from Texas who now face years in prison after their supposed activist mentor turned out to be an FBI plant. Winner of Best Documentary at the San Francisco International Film Festival 2011. More
"The path of the political dissident in the post-9/11 world is not for the tender-hearted. This account of two young men who found that out, to their enormous cost, carries ominous echoes of Abi King-Jones and Errol Wright’s Operation 8. The lifelong friends from Midland, Texas, went to Minneapolis with their mentor, Brandon Darby, a charismatic champion of the post-Katrina homeless, to protest the 2008 Republican Convention. Never did they suspect that a radical activist who persuaded them to toy with violence was actually an FBI plant, and that they would soon be facing years in prison."
