Episode 7: When the Fed met the Radical. Again.

When they last met, FBI agent Jane Quimby was putting Chelsea Gerlach behind bars for her role in the Earth Liberation Front.

Now, they’re ready to talk.

Jane Quimby was one of the FBI agents on Operation Backfire, the investigation that busted the Earth Liberation Front and so-called Family. One of those she put behind bars was Chelsea Gerlach – sentenced to nine years and now living with the weight of that word ‘terrorist’.

Now, they’re ready to talk in a way they couldn’t before.
