Johnson Center, Cinema
Better This World follows the dramatic journey of David McKay (22) and Bradley Crowder (23), of Midland Texas, George W. Bush’s hometown, as they are transformed from political neophytes to accused domestic terrorists, arrested at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
An intriguing coming of age character portrait with timeless themes of friendship, trust and betrayal, Katie Galloway and Kelly Duane de la Vega's documentary reconstructs the story of the relationship between these young men and their mentor -- radical activist Brandon Darby -- in the six months leading up to the convention, and of the subsequent twists and turns of their legal cases.
The film, 2011's winner of the Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Documentary, is screening at 6pm on 20 March at George Mason University's Johnson Center Cinema. Kelly Duane de la Vega and Katie Galloway will be on hand to discuss the film and answer questions.
