TERRORIST
GEORGE
When ownership of his California
farm is threatened, George Soehngen embarks on
an odyssey to defend his land. By choosing to
act as his own attorney and challenging the foundations
of the American legal system, George transforms
into a modern American anti-hero. By his side
throughout the ordeal is his young Korean wife,
Narae.
Narae’s
loyalty to George wavers as he writes a series
of letters to the opposing attorneys vowing to
protect the land by any means necessary, including
lethal force. In the shadow of 9/11, George is
tried for felony charges of making terrorist threats
and faces the prospect of losing everything, including
Narae.
TERRORIST
GEORGE is an intimate and innovative documentary
that takes us from the sun-drenched hills of Northern
California to the grim realities of San Quentin
in telling a surreal yet classic American story. |
