SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

Fifty years after the strange case of Sara Jane Moore and U.S. President Gerald Ford, suburban fury in America is boiling over again, and Robinson Devor’s new documentary SUBURBAN FURY is timely AF.

In the early 1970s, Moore was a conservative mother from the San Francisco suburbs who was recruited by the FBI to infiltrate leftist organizations and report back to the government – but her Judas status becomes complicated when her political beliefs became deeply radicalized. Moore agreed to participate in Devor’s film on the condition that she remains its sole interviewee, and as she takes us back through her recollections and perspectives leading up to the moment where she attempted to assassinate President Ford, an eerie sense of déjà vu begins to take hold. In this thrilling documentary, the tightrope of tension – between the ideals of America and the realities we are living though – tightens to a stranglehold.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Robinson Devor and producer Jason Reid
