Synopsis: (T)ERROR is the first documentary to place filmmakers on the ground during an active FBI counterterrorism sting operation.

Taut, stark and controversial, (T)ERROR illuminates the fragile relationships between individual and surveillance state in modern America, and asks who is watching the watchers.
