OREM - A documentary tracking the controversy generated by filmmaker Michael Moore's visit to Utah Valley State will be released on DVD this summer. ''This Divided State'' will be available in Utah this August, and released nationwide in September, said the filmmaker, Steve Greenstreet.
Greenstreet documented the battle over Moore's invitation and the use of student funds to cover his $40,000 speaking fee for a visit just before the November presidential election. It eventually spurred an invitation to conservative broadcaster Sean Hannity to also speak at UVSC to provide political balance.
As the controversy heated up, Greenstreet formed a production company, Minority Films, and produced the film.
