Two childhood friends from Midland, Texas—hometown of George W. and Laura Bush—turn 20, move to Austin and have a political awakening. Disenchanted and wanting to better the world, David and Brad set out to prove the fervour of their beliefs to both themselves and their mentor, a charismatic revolutionary—and FBI informant. The 2008 Republican National Convention protests serve as backdrop to a drama already scripted. Eight homemade bombs lead to the boys being arrested on domestic terrorism charges. A controversial entrapment defence ensues, exposing the dubious new tactics of the War on Terror. In a provocative study of post 9/11 paranoia, critically acclaimed directors Kelly Duane de la Vega (Monumental: David Brower’s Fight for Wild America) and Katie Galloway (Prison Town, USA) introduce us to activists and informant, taking us inside their lives, now forever changed.
