Michael Shea

Distraught over the outcome of the 2004 presidential election, filmmaker Michael Shea set out with a camera crew to travel the US and gain a deeper understanding of why so many Americans chose to reelect George Bush to a second term. In his journey through 22 Red States, Shea takes an honest and objective look at the issues that drove the vote. As the interviews build, viewers become acutely aware of just how vast the divide is between those who reside in America's Red and Blue States. Shea allows those he talks with to elegantly portray their own version of utopia; a world rarely touched upon by today's media and one that begs the question: Is this what our Founding Father's intended?
