FBI counterterrorism stings built on paid informants are the subject here, traced by Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit through interviews with three men who worked the job. After the September 11 attacks, the Bureau built a network of more than 15,000 informants, and the film follows three of them as they posed as Muslims inside American communities, looking for people who might be talked into joining plots that the FBI itself had designed and funded. The informants describe how the work is done: identifying targets who seem receptive, building trust over months, and steering conversations toward violence that would not otherwise have happened. Their accounts sit uneasily next to the Bureau's own justification, that removing a willing participant before he acts is prevention rather than entrapment. The film keeps returning to the people caught on the other end of these operations, asking what it means to be convicted of a plot that an informant helped write. It closes without resolving the argument, leaving the ethics of manufactured terrorism cases as open as it found them.
