The newburgh sting summary

Four black Muslim men sit in federal prisons for plotting to blow up synagogues in the Bronx in 2009. This probing documentary says the FBI was the plot’s instigator and its smoking gun is the government’s own video. 

The gambit concocted by the FBI for ex-prisoners with no military training to operate missile launchers and detonate explosives is an absurdist dance that begs for Danny DeVito or Adam Sandler.

Rigorous and incendiary, The Newburgh Sting premiered at Tribeca soon after journalists received prizes for their coverage of the Snowden spy revelations and Boston mourns the first anniversary of the bloody marathon bombing.

 The film should bring the media back to the 2009 case, and could ensure a theatrical showing in the US before it airs on HBO, which acquired it this spring.

International interest should be high for the doc about the FBI targeting a mosque to entrap its members, not just in Europe, but also in the Middle East and other Muslim regions
