DIRECTOR’SSTATEMENTInAprilof2014,ClivenBundy,his family,andhis followers famouslyandsuccessfully rebuked federalagentsatgunpointwhowereattemptingtoconfiscatetheBundy’scattleoverunpaidfederalgrazingfees.Iwasimmediatelyfascinatedwiththeimageryofthisstandoffandtheintensityandcertitudeofthoseinvolved.ItwascleartomethatthiswaslessaboutgrazingallotmentsthanaboutcompetingvisionsforwhatAmericashouldbe.WhenIlearnedthattheBundy’sweretakingtheirvictoryontheroadtosupportafederallandsprotestinRecaptureCanyon(amerethreehourdrivefrommyhomeinColorado),Ijumpedattheopportunitytoattendanddocumentthisevent.At Recapture Canyon, I firstmet Ryan Bundy and became familiar with the personalities behind thismovement. Itwas at this point that I set out tomakea film that explores the intractabledivide thatcharacterizesournationaldiscourseviathemicrocosmofthefederallandsacrimony.Ayearandahalfpassed,duringwhichIwasresearchingthismovementandreachingouttothosewithinit.WhenAmmonBundy(ClivenBundy’sson)andhisfollowerstookovertheMalheurNationalWildlifeRefugeinOregoninJanuaryof2016,IimmediatelyflewtoBurnsandbeganfilming.Myexperiencetherewasthat,whiletherewerefolkstherethatwerewellversedinranchingissues,thiswasaboutmuchmorethangrazingallotments.Theprotestors (armedandunarmed) Imet therehadavague,butprofoundsensethattheAmericatheyheldintheirmindswasinperil.When I first conceived of this film, many folks assumed that NOMAN'S LAND would be a hit piecelampooningthearmed-protestors.But,havinggrowingupinthesemi-ruralSouth,Iknowthesepeople.Igrewupsurroundedbymistrustofwhattheycalltheliberalelite.Ialsoknowthattheirmistrustisnotaltogethermisplaced.Inmylifetime,I'veseentheleft/rightparadigmgrowfromastrained,yetrespectfuldiscourse,toagapingdividenevertobecrossed.And,whileIdisagreewiththeMalheurprotestorsonmany fronts, Iwould notmake a film that off-handedly discounts their grievances or paints them assimpletons.InAmerica,wecraveabsolutes.Weliketoclearlydelineateideologyinblackandwhite,evenifthatisseldomthecase,anddemonizethosewhoholdviewpointsthatdifferfromourown.Buttodisavowanynuanceorcomplexitywouldbetodenyourselvesanopportunitytounderstandthosewhohavebecomedangerouslymarginalized.Untilweasacountrymakesanefforttobridgethedividethatcharacterizesournationaldiscourse,acrimoniouselementswillrulethedayandcompassionandcivilitywillbeviewedwithsuspicion.Withoutnuancedandempatheticdiscussions,ourcountrywillsuffertheconsequencestothedetrimentofallAmericans.
