In “Stranger at the Gate,” a new short documentary by JSeftel, a community recollects how a would-be terrorist made—and then abandoned—a violent plan. Watch here.

Reëntering civilian life in 2006, Richard McKinney, a white combat veteran, brainstormed how he could protect his family and serve his country. His answer was to make a bomb.

In his new documentary, Seftel brings the camera home and follows a personal drama that embodies a societal collision. The film opens on a teen-ager addressing the camera. “Most of the time when I tell people this story, they tell me that they don’t believe me,” she says. The speaker, Emily McKinney, is the stepdaughter of the man at the center of the documentary, Richard McKinney. Emily is referring to Mac’s plan to set off an I.E.D. at a mosque, the Islamic Center of Muncie, Indiana.
