Loosely basesd on Thomas Frank's book of the same name, Kansas takes a look at why a once progressive state has in recent years become very conservative. The documentary spends time with Kansans on both sides of the political spectrum, and director Joe Winston offers no commentary or judgement on anyone. The film really wants the viewer to get to know who these people are, beyond just their political ideals. This mostly works, although the film seems a bit unfocused and some of it's subjects are completely unlikeable. Still, an interesting look at a state I never want to live in.
