Better This World plays like a slick thriller with a shocking twist in its tale. This acclaimed film won Best Documentary at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, San Francisco Film Festival and the Sarasota Film Festival 2011.

Following the screening will be a Q&A with Brian Hill with BAFTA winning director Brian Hill. 

Boyhood friends David McKay and Bradley Crowder’s interest in the world of activism leads them to radical militant Brandon Darby. Six months later, the ‘Texas Two’ are facing terrorism charges for planning to petrol bomb a Republican rally – but the boys claim FBI entrapment in a case that goes to the heart of the ‘war on terror’ and its impact on civil liberties and political descent in in post-9/11 America.

The screening of the film will be followed by a Q&A with Brian Hill. Brian recently directed ‘Confessions of an Undercover Cop’, a documentary that offered exclusive access to Mark Kennedy, Britain’s most controversial undercover police officer who for seven years was an environmental campaigner and militant activist who broke into power stations, learned how to make bombs, infiltrated groups hell-bent on attacking major corporations and stood arm-in-arm with anti-capitalist anarchists.
