Another interesting Michael Moore film...

Or should I say, another film about Michael Moore...this one about Michael Moore's visit to Utah. You watch the trailer and clips at the web site.
In September 2004, with a presidential election approaching, the state of Utah was prepared to declare itself "Bush Country". It had become common for folks to expect a statewide Republican victory every four years. However, this conservative calm was jolted when Utah Valley State College announced that it had invited liberal filmmaker Michael Moore to speak at their campus. An explosion of outrage tore the community apart and those once apathetic to political views rose to the front lines. And so began a heated war of protest, lawsuits, and death threats. Would conservative activists prevent Michael Moore from coming? Would liberal Utahans win out their fight for Freedom of Speech? The answer lies somewhere within This Divided State.
