(T)ERROR is the first film to feature access to an active FBI counterterrorism informant. With filmmakers documenting a live FBI sting operation through the perspective of “Shariff”, a 63—year—old Black revolutionary turned informant, viewers get an unfettered glimpse of the government’s counterterrorism tactics and the murky justifications behind them. A faceless character throughout, the FBI is an omnipresent force, pushing hard for results as “Shariff” slowly closes in on his target. Taut, stark and controversial, (T)ERROR illuminates the fragile relationships between individual and surveillance state in modern America, and asks who is watching the watchers.
