In an effort to prevent attacks against the nation, undercover FBI agents are buddying up to potential terrorists around the country. Saeed “Shariff” Torres has worked as an FBI counterterrorism informant for more than 20 years. The father of a young boy, Shariff now yearns to leave his dangerous job behind. At the start of (T)ERROR, Shariff is headed to Pittsburgh. He claims this is going to be his last sting and, as preposterous as it sounds, he’s invited two filmmakers to tag along and document his work. Confronted with an ethically murky, high-stakes story, directors Lyric R. Cabral and David Felix Sutcliffe respond with poise and tenacity. Their stunning film thrills and bewilders in equal measure.
