Interview 2:
On Sept. 6, PBS aired the documentary film “Better This World”, which follows the story of Bradley Crowder and David Mckay, two anti war activists, as they prepare to participate in demonstrations at the 2008 National Republican Convention. Both Brad and David were eventually accused and convicted of domestic terrorism charges stemming from having made 8 molotov cocktails that were never used. According to the film makers, "Better This World", follows the radicalization of Brad and David, and their eventual entrapment by FBI informant, Brandon Darby, who today, makes his living, speaking out against progressive forces, and peddling a right wing agenda.
The film makers also use the film to raise questions of dissent, and civil liberties, post 9/11.
