This Divided State
A community-wide battle over free speech is ignited in the most unlikely of places: Utah's sleepy Mormon country, which for the most part leans conservative in its politics. The brouhaha starts prior to the 2004 presidential election, when Utah Valley State College's student body invites Michael Moore, the incendiary filmmaker behind "Bowling for Columbine," to give a speech on campus. This is met by public outrage, death threats and even a bribery attempt to stop the visit from taking place.
