Shining a light into the murky world of police infiltration, incitement and agent provocateurs, Manufacturing the Threat shows how Canada’s policing and national security agencies, granted additional powers after 9/11, routinely break laws with little to no accountability or oversight.

For the first time ever, this in-depth documentary examines the issue of agent provocateurs and entrapment in Canada’s national security apparatus. Manufacturing the Threat is a thrilling and emotional film, which examines a deeply disturbing episode in Canadian history when an impoverished couple was coerced by undercover law enforcement agents into carrying out a terrorist bombing. Traces the infamous 2013 case of John Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody, both converts to Islam (taking the names Omar and Ana). The couple spent three years in prison for planning a terrorist bombing before the courts found they’d been entrapped by undercover law enforcement.

Inspired by the book "Produire la menace" by Alexandre Popovic.
