The film carefully examines the divisive nature of politics in an overwhelmingly conservative mid-western community. In September 2004, the student body representatives of Utah Valley State College invited controversial filmmaker Michael Moore to speak on campus two weeks before the Presidential election. An unanticipated uproar from the students and community ensued. Moore protestors claimed university funds should not pay for Moore's visit, while those in support of Moore fought to defend free speech. A community once considered politically passive was stirred to action, and the conflict played out in the media and several public forums. Those opposed to Moore's visit, in an effort to have the invitation rescinded, resorted to death threats, petitions, law suits, and bribery. Moore supporters, living in the high concentrate of Mormon conservatism, struggled to be heard, to defend new ideas, and to keep plans for his visit on track. Steven Greenstreet, the film's director, tracks the personal stories of the key figures embroiled in this controversy, as well as opinions of the community at large. By delving into the personal motives and expectations of those involved, Greenstreet effectively presents the causes and effects of this unprecedented debate. The result of his efforts is a documentary full of candor, conflict, and humor that stands as a fascinating commentary on the current "divided state" of both the nation and the small town of "Family City, USA.
Leave your thoughts about This Divided State.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittFrequently funny, sometimes sad, often electrifying. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonNo matter where you stand, This Divided State has a patriotic, galvanizing effect. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitA sobering documentary about how divided we have become as a people. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsIf there's anybody left who believes in free discourse, the students were clear winners. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThe 25-year-old filmmaker takes no sides himself. Wisely, he allows folks of all opinions to put their feet in their mouths all by themselves. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceCompetent, surprisingly cohesive and coherent and it does its best to tell all sides of the story. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreIt's a discomfiting film, bringing up all the ugly emotion of last year's electoral shouting match, concentrated in one town in one state and in one short 88-minute film. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerThe approach to recording the story is everything its subjects aren't. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxIt's a fascinating, infuriating story, and despite the fact that Greenstreet occasionally wanders off subject it's a brave and highly commendable effort that's chock-full of chilling moments. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderCompelling, intriguing, utterly absorbing. |
