Right thing (the) Cinema - Drama

Code: 020379

Two police officers, one an idealistic rookie and the other a hard-bitten veteran, are assigned to tail a suspected terrorist, a foreign resident released from jail pending trial. As they follow and observe him, the badly matched partners air their differences and clashing opinions, with the younger officer holding that the whole case might be another of the legal errors caused by post-9/11 hysteria while the veteran feels that the suspect never should have been freed. Then Khalid, the target of their investigation, turns the tables on them, joining the debate himself and leading them to wonder whether he really is the enemy or possibly a friend? Whether he should be followed or protected? Whether he deserves to be helped or arrested again? And whether they themselves might be engaging in the terrible act of fellow feeling and possibly committing the crime of “friendship” as well?
