If you missed the PBS documentary film “Better This World” last night, I highly recommend that you check your local PBS listings and catch it on a second run or simply watch it online.
The documentary, produced by filmmakers Kelly Duane de la Vega and Katie Galloway, captures the workings of the government’s post-9/11 security apparatus by following the case of two young protestors, David McKay and Brad Crowder, who were essentially lured by an FBI informant into creating Molotov Cocktails during the 2008 Republican National Convention in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It’s a good primer about the often overlooked and controversial (and in a pre-9/11 world, illegal) methods the FBI uses to follow and catch those who they suspect to be domestic terrorists. 1115 highly recommends it.
