"THE
EAST, a suspenseful and provocative espionage thriller from acclaimed
writer-director Zal Batmanglij and writer-actress Brit Marling, stars
Marling as former FBI agent Sarah Moss. Moss is starting a new career at
Hiller Brood, an elite private intelligence firm that ruthlessly
protects the interests of its A-list corporate clientele. Handpicked for
a plum assignment by the company's head honcho, Sharon (Patricia
Clarkson), Sarah goes deep undercover to infiltrate The East, an elusive
anarchist collective seeking revenge against major corporations guilty
of covering up criminal activity. Determined, highly trained and
resourceful, Sarah soon ingratiates herself with the group, overcoming
their initial suspicions and joining them on their next action or "jam."
But living closely with the intensely committed members of The East,
Sarah finds herself torn between her two worlds as she starts to connect
with anarchist Benji (Alexander Skarsgård) and the rest of the
collective, and awakens to the moral contradictions of her personal
life."
