Better This World

KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio

At the 2008 Republican National Convention, two young Texas men were arrested on domestic terrorism charges. They were caught with homemade bombs and the FBI stepped in to prevent the threat they saw to lives and property. A new film follows the case, and asks these questions: were the men misled by a role model turned FBI informant or were they making their own wrong choices all along? "Better This World" will screen in Salt Lake next week and Wednesday the directors join Doug for a look at our post-9/11 America.

Better This World will screen, Friday, August 19 and Saturday, August 20 as part of the Salt Lake City Film Festival.
On September 6, it will air as part of the PBS series POV. Click here for listings.
