*Best of 2025 - Suburban Fury - Director Robinson Devor

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2025 Seattle International Film Festival SUBURBAN FURY revisits the 1975 assassination attempt on US President Gerald Ford through the perspective of would-be assassin Sara Jane Moore, a conservative mother from the San Francisco suburbs who became radicalized while working as an FBI informant. Freed after serving 32 years of a life sentence, Moore returns to San Francisco under watch of the Secret Service to tell the extraordinary story of her transformation from suburban housewife to government infiltrator to far-left extremist. Interweaving rarely seen archival footage with an imaginatively staged dialogue between Sara Jane Moore, the informant, and Bert Worthington, her FBI control agent, the film features exclusive access to Moore, revealing a beguiling, and often seemingly unreliable, narrator. Moore’s true nature, as well as the validity of political violence, are ultimately left up to the mind and heart of the viewer. At the 50th anniversary of her attempt, Suburban Fury resonates urgently in an era of democratic backsliding, offering no easy answers — only a singular vantage point inside a fractured mind and country. Director Robinson Devor joins us for a riveting account of the making of this film and the stranger than fiction life of Sarah Jane Moore.
