Summary:
“The Favriskan Sting” opens with a snowy winter in 1990, when an independent terrorist group called Fukot strategically plans to get inside Favrisko. After murdering the soldiers standing in their way at the border, they turn their attention to the nation’s capital, Hugoswille. The next morning, they strategically begin attacking government and police vehicles before retrieving their leader, a man named Nelson, from a nondescript warehouse. In order to destabilize the nation and its government, the Fukot leaders begin a bloody campaign of attacks, killing over 1,200 civilians (including Supreme Court Justice R.A. Fullor, whose death prompted a large government response). Meanwhile, a town mayor named Thompson Thomerson gives a hurried press conference on the horrific attacks. A Fukot terrorist in the crowd begins to fire his gun, killing a pregnant mother and a young child.
The crowd disperses, and perspective shifts to Michael Welkon, a 53 year old insurance executive (and personal friend of mayor Thomerson). Welkon and his wife start driving to the airport in order to leave Favrisko (against his friend’s wishes), but are forced to change over to a bus on the way. Unfortunately, the bus was rigged with an explosive, however Michael and his wife were able to escape safely, albeit injured. They seek treatment at the clinic of a Doctor Edward, however terrorists storm the clinic and begin killing its patients and staff (including Michael’s wife). A distraught Michael escapes the massacre, and after a strange encounter with a fortune teller, dedicates himself to helping as many people as he can. He helps lead large groups of survivors into a nearby forest, setting up a tent camp and hunkering down until the government apprehends Fukot’s leaders and restores order to the nation.
The film shoots forward a few years. 65 year old Michael accepts a medal for his bravery and leadership in setting up the forest camps. Large numbers of Fukot terrorists are sentenced to life in prison. In an outburst, Michael suggests violent methods of execution, gaining looks of pity and concern. As Favrisko heals from the attacks and moves on, Michael is seen growing increasingly older. His son John comes to live with him, but Michael never really moves on from the attacks, still calling the attackers “the real demons.” The final scene of the film shows Michael in the hospital, quietly passing away at the age of 85.
What makes this film special?: “The Favriskan Sting” takes details from the testimonials of over a hundred first-hand witnesses to the Fukot terrorist attacks in 1990. Using these stories and surviving pictures and video from the time, the film honestly and bluntly recreates one of the darkest and most horrific times in Favriskan history.
