About the film
Just 60 miles north of New York City sits the poverty-stricken town of Newburgh, where, in 2009, four Black men are lured by a shady business man into a plot to bomb Jewish centers in the Bronx. But once the men were on board, their leader, who doubled as an FBI informant, led them straight to the authorities. Their arrest was hailed as a national victory in the war on terror. Using never-before-seen footage from hidden cameras, David Heilbroner and Kate Davis investigate just what homegrown terrorism truly means in this shocking and galvanizing exposé.

An official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival and a featured HBO documentary, the Newburgh Sting is a powerful film that highlights the intersection between pervasive post-9/11 government surveillance of Muslims, the historical targeting of black, low-income communities in America.
