This Divided State poster

Released in 2005, This Divided State is a documentary film directed by Steven Greenstreet, running about 88 minutes. “Death Threats, Bribery, and Family Values.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. This Divided State follows the controversy surrounding Utah Valley State College's invitation to liberal filmmaker Michael Moore to speak on campus. Though UVSC is located in one of the most conservative counties in the United States, vehement opposition to Moore's visit was much greater than anticipated. Equally surprising, however, was the overwhelming support for Moore, vocalized by students and community members previously considered "apathetic." Debate between Moore supporters and Moore protestors raged openly in the media and public forums. Death threats, hate mail, bribes, and lawsuits were all candidly captured on film.

Who’s in it. This Divided State stars Kay Anderson as Self, Jim Bassi as Self, Sean Vreeland as Self - Student Petitioner and Michael Nigro as Self, among others.
