Boyhood friends from Midland, Texas are
arrested on terrorism charges at the 2008 Republican National Convention. Better
This World follows the journey of David McKay (22) and Bradley Crowder (23) from

the relationship they develop with a radical activist mentor in the six months

betrayal, BETTER THIS WORLD goes to the heart of the War on Terror and its
impact on civil liberties and political dissent in post-9/11 America.
