Better This World Tops SF Film Fest

Posted on May 5, 2011

Kelly Duane de la Vega and Katie Galloway’s documentary picked up two Golden Gate awards at this year's San Francisco International Film Festival.

 

Better This World won two Golden Gate Awards at the 54th annual San Francisco International Film Festival, taking the prizes for Best Documentary Feature and Best Bay Area Documentary Feature. The doc follows two boyhood friends from Midland, Texas — David McKay and Bradley Crowder — who fall under the sway of a charismatic revolutionary 10 years their senior. At the volatile 2008 Republican Convention the "Texas Two" cross a line that radically changes their lives. The result: eight homemade bombs, multiple domestic terrorism charges, and a high-stakes entrapment defense hinging on the actions of a controversial FBI informant. Better This World , airs on P.O.V. this fall.  Watch the trailer below.
