À seulement 60 miles au nord de New York se trouve la ville pauvre de Newburgh, où, en 2009, quatre hommes ont été arrêtés pour un plan visant à bombarder deux centres juifs dans le Bronx. Mais leur chef, un homme d'affaires pakistanais suspect placé par le gouvernement comme informateur, a conduit ces hommes directement entre les mains des autorités. Avec des images sans fin recueillies à partir de caméras cachées, les réalisateurs David Heilbroner et Kate Davis enquêtent sur ce que signifie vraiment le terrorisme local dans cet exposé choquant et galvanisant.

Dror Moreh a décidé de réaliser ce film après avoir mesuré l'importance décisive du Shabak (Shin Beth) sur la scène politique israélienne depuis quarante ans. Ces six directeurs à la retraite de la sécurité israélienne évoquent leurs victoires et les échecs passés sans nostalgie. Très critiques vis-à-vis des politiques menées par leurs gouvernements (à l'exception de celui d'Yitzhak Rabin), ils défendent tous un changement radical de politique en Israël : la recherche de la paix et la reconnaissance au plus tôt de l’État palestinien.

The film opens with ex-militants describing the torture they underwent when captured by the army. A Hindu describes his sentiment on being a part of the minority in the region at the height of militancy, when his grandfather was shot dead by militants. A politician and her husband describe the horror of being kidnapped and in captivity for over a month – and despite that, forming a human bond with the militants, and helping them escape when the army closed in on them. One understands from this section that militancy was not binary in nature. It was a dynamic and complex, resulting from various socio-political, economic and religious issues.
