A new documentary film sheds light on the Surrey couple involved in a plot to blow up the B.C. Legislature in Victoria 10 years ago, on Canada Day 2013.
John 香蕉视频直播淥mar香蕉视频直播� Nuttall and Amanda 香蕉视频直播淎na香蕉视频直播� Korody were originally found guilty by a jury and did time in prison, but were later acquitted when the Supreme Court of B.C. heard they were coerced by undercover police officers to carry out a terrorist bombing.
Director 香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淢anufacturing the Threat香蕉视频直播� is a fascinating portrait of the couple and also a murky world of Canadian police infiltration, manipulation and entrapment, and how policing and security agencies were granted additional powers after 9/11 to go after 香蕉视频直播渢errorists香蕉视频直播� and justify growing budgets.
This week the film is , on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (Oct. 17, 19, 20).
to watch the trailer.
Back in 2013, during Operation Souvenir, the RCMP provided Nuttall and Korody with explosives and fake detonators, then arrested and charged them for plotting a terrorist attack.
Miller香蕉视频直播檚 gripping film, world-premiered at Vancouver香蕉视频直播檚 DOXA film festival last May, uses surveillance video to help show how an impoverished pair became radicalized Muslims with pressure and guidance of undercover police who, the director contends, sought to 香蕉视频直播渕anufacture香蕉视频直播� the terrorist threat.
Last year the couple announced plans to sue police, prosecutors in their case and the B.C. and Canadian governments.

Nuttall and Korody still live in the Surrey area, the Montreal-based director said.
香蕉视频直播淭hey had never really done interviews before. It took time to build some trust, and I think that香蕉视频直播檚 warranted,香蕉视频直播� Miller said in a phone call Tuesday (Oct. 17).
香蕉视频直播淚 was very lucky to get some development funding for the film in 2019, and that香蕉视频直播檚 when I went out and filmed with them,香蕉视频直播� she continued. 香蕉视频直播淭hat ended up being the main bulk of the filming for this. I would have liked to have a few more days with them, you know, a year or two later, but that香蕉视频直播檚 not what happened.香蕉视频直播�
Miller said she香蕉视频直播檚 remained in contact with the lawyer involved in the the couple香蕉视频直播檚 2022 lawsuit against police and governments.
香蕉视频直播淚 have been writing Omar and Ana, letting them know how things are going,香蕉视频直播� she explained. 香蕉视频直播淭hey didn香蕉视频直播檛 attend the premiere (last spring) but I sent them a copy of the film. I don香蕉视频直播檛 know if they decided to watch it, because it香蕉视频直播檚 hard for anyone to watch themselves on TV or in films, never mind if you香蕉视频直播檙e sharing extremely traumatic, difficult stories of what happened to you.香蕉视频直播�
Miller says DOXA is the only 香蕉视频直播渂ig festival香蕉视频直播� in Canada to have welcomed the film, to date, and she香蕉视频直播檚 not entirely sure why.
香蕉视频直播淓very other of the Canadian festivals that are in, like, the A tier, the bigger festivals, have snubbed the film, and there still isn香蕉视频直播檛 a Canadian broadcaster that香蕉视频直播檚 taken the film,香蕉视频直播� Miller said.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 the only film on entrapment and agent provocateurs in Canadian history, that香蕉视频直播檚 ever been made, so guaranteed there香蕉视频直播檚 people who will find it interesting,香蕉视频直播� she added.
香蕉视频直播淚s it a conspiracy to say that maybe broadcasters don香蕉视频直播檛 want to ruffle any feathers and have any issues? I don香蕉视频直播檛 know. It香蕉视频直播檚 tricky for me to say because nobody wants sour grapes, and there are so many good docs that don香蕉视频直播檛 get a license or that don香蕉视频直播檛 get into good festival, or bigger festivals, I should say.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 very thrilled with the results so far,香蕉视频直播� Miller added. 香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e won a couple of awards, and international eyeballs will see this film. But it is a Canadian subject for a Canadian audience. I can香蕉视频直播檛 speak on behalf of the broadcasters, but it is one of those things, right, because maybe it香蕉视频直播檚 as simple as no one wants to be critical of the RCMP and CSIS because of the cultural ecosystem that we live in, in Canada.香蕉视频直播�
