What happens

This Divided State is a documentary film by first-time filmmaker Steven Greenstreet. It details the conflict that erupted at Utah Valley State College, now called Utah Valley University, when controversial liberal figure and documentarian Michael Moore was scheduled to come speak on campus shortly before the 2004 presidential election. The documentary explores rising political partisanship in the United States as Greenstreet examines the uproar from the students and community members and the subsequent debate surrounding the First Amendment.
