What happens

Manufacturing the Threat is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Amy Miller and released in 2023. The film centres on the case of John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, a couple from Surrey, British Columbia, who, after converting to Islam, were coerced by undercover Royal Canadian Mounted Police agents into participating in a fake terrorist plot concocted solely to entrap them in a crime. Nuttall and Korody spent three years in prison before being cleared by the British Columbia Supreme Court in 2016, and subsequently launched a lawsuit against the RCMP in 2022. The film premiered at the DOXA Documentary Film Festival in May 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
