When 25-year-old filmmaker Steven Greenstreet heard director Michael Moore had been invited to speak at Utah Valley State College during the heat of last fall’s election, he knew things might get interesting. He was right, and his documentary of the events, which he dropped out of nearby Brigham Young University to create, is also generating some attention. The film is called This Divided State and has been picked up by the liberal Center For American Progress for a nationwide campus tour. Their Campus Progress project is sponsoring a free screening tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. at the E Street Cinema downtown. Although the screening is free they’re asking attendees to RSVP on the web, and we heard as of yesterday there was still space.
The organizers say they will be brief remarks by the director and a “special guest” before, as well as a question and answer period after the film, which is about “an intense free speech debate, cash bribes, threats of violence, a Michael Moore look-alike, even a competing appearance by TV pundit Sean Hannity.” See this description for more on Greenstreet and the film.
