After political documentaries were all the rage in 2004, "This Divided State" looks at the result. A Utah college's decision to let Michael Moore speak there sparks emotions on both ends of the political spectrum. One of the professors tries to get the college to stop Moore from coming, and the college invites Sean Hannity for the opposing viewpoints.
One can certainly see the polarization inherent in our society these days. You can also see what a creep Sean Hannity is. Michael Moore praises the college for not backing down. A protester noted that the police made them take the poles off of their signs, but allowed people to carry guns into the hall. All in all, one thing that I can say with absolute certainty is that I do not want to live in Utah.
