Suburban Fury
Suburban Fury is a gripping portrait of Sara Jane Moore, a single mother from suburban San Francisco who, in 1975, attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford. More than a historical retelling, the film is an intimate character study and a chilling mirror of America2s ideological divide. Framed around unprecedented access to Moore herself, it unfolds as a first-person monologue shot across the Bay Area sites where her radicalization took root. Blending rare archival footage with a stylized imagined exchange between Moore and her FBI handler, Suburban Fury traces her transformation from patriotic volunteer and government informant to disillusioned revolutionary with a gun in her hand. Fifty years later, Moore's story feels eerily prescient a reflection of how ordinary citizens can be swept into extremism, conspiracy, and rage. Suburban Fury doesn't offer easy answers; instead, it immerses us in one woman's unraveling and the country that mirrored her fracture.
