This Divided State is a documentary by first-time filmmaker Steven Greenstreet that details the conflict that erupted at Utah Valley State College, now called Utah Valley University, when controversial figure Michael Moore was scheduled to come speak on campus shortly before the 2004 presidential election.

Synopsis

In September 2004, UVSC student council leaders, Jim Bassi and Joseph Vogel, invited liberal filmmaker Michael Moore to come speak on campus. The predominantly conservative community of Orem surrounding the school erupted in an uproar. A pandemonium of protests, petitions, and demonstrations escalated into hate mail, threatening phone calls, threatened lawsuits, and countless incendiary editorials.

Michael Moore begins by introducing himself and his family through 8 mm archival home movies; he describes himself as the Irish American Catholic middle-class son of a General Motors employee assembling AC spark plugs. Moore chronicles how GM had previously defined his childhood in Flint, Michigan, and how the company was the primary economic and social hub of the town. He points out that Flint is the place where the Flint Sit-Down Strike occurred, resulting in the birth of the United Auto Workers. He reveals that his heroes were the Flint natives who had escaped the oppressive life in GM's factories, including "Flint's most famous native son," game show host Bob Eubanks.

Ce film est un documentaire critique de la société américaine qui tente de répondre à cette question : « Pourquoi le nombre d'homicides par arme à feu est-il proportionnellement plus élevé aux États-Unis que dans les autres pays ? ». Le titre fait référence à la fusillade du lycée Columbine à Littleton (Colorado) en 1999 où 12 lycéens et un professeur sont assassinés par deux de leurs camarades.

Le distributeur décrit le documentaire comme « un regard provocateur et comique sur notre époque », faisant référence à l'élection présidentielle américaine de 2016 et à la présidence ultérieure de Donald Trump. Le documentaire explore également deux questions: comment les États-Unis ont progressé vers la présidence Trump et comment « sortir » de l'ère de l'administration Trump.

Si le fond des combats de Michael Moore semble légitime, ses méthodes de travail ne le sont pas toujours. Remontant jusqu'aux débuts de la carrière du très médiatique réalisateur de "Fahrenheit 9/11", "Bowling for Columbine" et "Sicko", ce documentaire livre un éclairage édifiant sur les méthodes de Moore pour rendre ses documentaires toujours plus efficaces : se mettre lui-même en scène, pratiquer des raccourcis commodes, sortir une interview de son contexte, biaiser... Il use ainsi, lui aussi, d'un arsenal discutable pour servir autant son propos que ses intérêts : avec ce documentaire, c'est l'arroseurs arrosé !

The film begins with a series of security footages of armed bank robberies (one of the robbers was on a crutch) accompanied by the song Louie, Louie. Moore then uses an Encyclopædia Britannica archive video to compare and view modern-day America with the Roman Empire, by juxtaposing depictions of the fall of the Roman Empire with similar modern-day American issues. The film then depicts home videos of families being evicted from their homes, as well as the "Condo Vultures," a Florida real estate agency whose business flourished with the increasing number of foreclosures.
