The case of two boys whose interest in the world of activism leads them to face terrorism charges.

Better This World plays like a slick thriller with a shocking twist in its tale. Boyhood friends David McKay and Bradley Crowder’s interest in the world of activism leads them to charismatic 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 dissent in the United States.
