Better This World is a documentary that follows the story of two young men, David McKay and Bradley Crowder, who become involved in political activism during the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
As the film unfolds, it becomes clear that McKay and Crowder's actions were manipulated by an FBI informant, leading to their arrest on charges of domestic terrorism. The documentary explores the complexities of their case and raises questions about the role of law enforcement in targeting activists.
Through interviews with McKay, Crowder, and their families, Better This World sheds light on the personal struggles and ethical dilemmas faced by those caught up in the criminal justice system. The film ultimately challenges viewers to consider the implications of government surveillance and the erosion of civil liberties in the name of national security.
