"One of the Ten Best Documentaries of the Year." - Roger Ebert

A documentary film by Laura Cohen & Joe Winston.

Based on the Thomas Frank's best-seller, "What's the Matter with Kansas?" shows how Kansas transformed from an outpost of radicalism to a bastion of hard-core conservatism. Unforgettable characters and their stories shed new light on our nation's political divide.

This trailer is somewhat longer than the theatrical version, with more glimpses into the major characters and themes.

  • I'm from bennington ks. Bout 20 mi North of Salina. I wonder myself wtf happened.

  • Also Kansas farmer's aren't a bunch of poor backass rednecks. They run million dollar small business. On average 160 acres of ground in Kansas costs $200,000. The tractors and combines they run cost well over $200,000 a piece. They are hard working people who understand the value of the land and the need to feed the world. Several farmers in Kansas have net worths in the millions just on land and equipment holdings. More on avg than any doctor or lawyer in my opinion.

  • The fella who is head of Kansas Farmer's Union clearly shows the difference in Kansas farming politics. He said he resigned from KLA as well. The difference between Kansas Livestock and Kansas Cattlemen's is that KLA takes on a more market approach in that those who breed better cattle deserve more money. Kansas Cattlemen says all producers should yield the same return. Same difference in Farmer's Union and Farm Bureau. And I'd say KLA and Farm Bureau have more Republican members than Democrats.

  • 'Well we lost our social security but at least gays can't get married'...

  • This is like watching a train-wreck, in slow motion, with a clamp around your testicles, while you're on fire.

  • Righteousness is a sin. Morons.

  • @Foxgirl201169 forreal? but ya he does sound cool lol who gives a shit?
