The documentary revealed the division of the community and state during the events surrounding Michael Moore in the fall of 2004. The film was introduced by its creator Steven Green-street, a previous BYU student. He was surprised to see the theatre bulging with viewers, and commented that he "never thought things would get as big as they did." He is now getting international media attention. The theatre was packed with students, staff and many members of the community, including Mr. Kay Anderson. When asked about his attendance at the film, and his expectations, he replied that he was "Not going to prejudge the film, although there are a lot of public funds illegally involved in the producing of the film."

Mr. Anderson had in fact, a prepared and typed two-page response to his request to be removed from the film. In it he stated that Greenstreet shows his "bias as well as his ignorance of the facts." Mr. Anderson played a key role in the film, and was even the reason for student Dan Phillips' attendance at the showing."I heard that Kay Anderson was going to be here, and I was hoping that I would see him make an ass of himself," said Phillips. To Phillips' disappointment, the crowd reaction to the film involved very little drama. Greenstreet requested that the audience attending treat the subjects in the film as objectively as he did in filming, and "refrain from stuff, like throwing things at the screen." Although several boo's ac companied the appearance and comments of Anderson and Sean Hannity, the most response from the crowd was laughter at some of the more extreme outbursts that were caught on film.
