The East 2013
Eco-anarchist group Vostok targets specific companies involved in corruption and criminal cases. Their actions, which expose global elites to their own exploitation, quickly gain attention in the mainstream media. Private security firm Hiller Brood hires former FBI agent Sarah Moss to infiltrate the organization as part of their VIP client protection. Sarah, especially after joining the group and getting close to leader Benji, starts to sympathize with East’s ideas and ideals. A woman caught between two roles in two different worlds now must make a choice. A film discussing the World Liberation Front, an organization that has carried out direct destructive actions against companies causing environmental damage in recent years and has been listed as one of the world’s most dangerous “terrorist” groups. A USA production, one of the most interesting independent films of the year.
