Informant – Official Trailer (HD) Documentary
– “Informant” – Official Trailer
Winner of Best Documentary at the 2012 Doc NYC Festival, Informant is a fascinating, gripping portrait of Brandon Darby, a radical activist turned FBI informant who has been alternately vilified and deified. In 2005, Darby became an overnight hero when he traveled to Katrina-devastated New Orleans and braved toxic floodwaters to rescue a friend stranded in the Ninth Ward. Soon after, he co-founded Common Ground, a successful grassroots relief organization. But over the next few years, he began hiding a shocking secret. After two young protestors were arrested at the 2008 Republican National Convention, Darby revealed he had been instrumental in the indictment as an FBI informant.

Interesting…
Sorry but in the system we live in an anarchist isn't accepted. We see that in our daily lives. The man did right. Once you attack the establishment you become the enemy. We saw this with the occupy movement vs the tea party movement. Playing with in the system is all one can do.
Interesting. Personally, I believe doing the right thing that I know in my heart to be true is What I will do. End of story. F**k anyone else's opinion on what I must do to be true to myself. Judging anyone at anytime is ludicrous since I do not ever stand in shoes other than my own. Sorry, but, I am not pretentious nor presumptuous to imagine I have the right to say Shit about what another person does…period. All I can say is, Good for him for doing what he thought was right.

Fake revolutionary. I'm sure Che would be proud of you.
I assume of course that this doesn't apply to the mentally unstable/challenged, those of limited capacity, those with otherwise warped views of right and wrong, those lacking in morality, children, etc…
For example, there are those in this world who really truly believe they are meant to kill others, that this is their purpose in life. Are we to tolerate this, simply because they think it is right?
found it a bit pro-Darby, and generalising the activist movement as extremists (just as Darby wanted it). not really an objective movie..
This is a GREAT FILM for it's unintended use as a training manual, any activist should watch it and take notes: beware the megalomaniac alpha male! When the subject, Darby, realizes that anarchists won't treat him as a messiah he flips and works for the FBI, using the feds to get revenge on his old friends.
Wow he messed up those kids lives and then just walked away as if it was nothing. Smh I dont wish ill will against him because I dont have hate like that in my heart but what a POS !
Controlled Opposition . . . Controlled Opposition everywhere
great doco. loved that the re enactments were rehearsals. however grey an area Mr Darby felt himself in, his egomaniacal actions were clearly black and white. a more apt title for this film may well have been "sell out".
