Vilified by some, venerated by others, Brandon Darby is the FBI informant instrumental to the imprisonment of two young activists following demonstrations at the 2008 Republican National Convention. A counterpoint to last year’s Golden Gate Award winner, Better This World, this fascinating documentary includes wide-ranging interviews and reenactments starring the man himself. An ear-perking investigation into the exploits of a glory hound who values bravado above brotherhood, the film cedes Darby center stage as a reluctant antihero ready to advance his agenda by any means.
