I recently saw a segment about this film on Nightline. I'm curious how was he - and the rest of the people there - getting their money to buy property and live in that small town. They didn't mention what type of job any of them had only that they decided to set up shop there. I have a feeling the older man might be on Social Security retirement, but probably not the others.

So you're going to fight ignorance with ignorance? It would pretty much be exactly what they want..to make you worse than them and them martyrs for their cause.. Personally, I couldn't careless what some backwards hicks do. It's not like the guy can afford to buy the whole town.
This whole documentary is much ado about nothing, but they market this crap like a thriller or even a horror film to stoke racial animus...to sell their crappy film of course.

I would likely contradict my attitude of fairness and just burn them while they slept.
I agree with your second paragraph. There are small towns and there are small towns so negligible to call them small towns would be a misnomer. When I saw the documentary, I thought, "Since it's in North Dakota, I reckon it must have a few hundred." But then I looked it up and found out it had less than 20 people! A place with less than 20 people isn't a small town. It's nothing. I don't wanna sound like a snob but a small town should be considered something that has more than 100 people.
As far as this movie goes, you read the reviews and promos and read stuff like, "A town under siege." and "A town divided." and "More gripping than any horror story." But then you realize it only has 16 people and think, "Um no." because if you read about this in a newspaper article you'd think, "So some white supremacist wants to turn some hole-in-the-wall town in North Dakota into a booming city for other white supremacists. Sure, guy, sure. Go right ahead." then you'd turn the page to check out the funnies.
Nobody, not even people from North Dakota, truly cares what happens in some 16-resident podunk-village in the frozen, frosty, isolated prairies. If white supremacists get there, the jokes on them because there aren't any women to make things tolerable. What are they gonna do there? Freeze their nuts off while they trash minorities for ruining America in a town of 16 hillbillies?
This documentary says more about the people who made it then the people involved. It shows they're so desperate to break into the film industry that they hype up an incident nobody truly finds interesting.
Its funny how the main resident slips and says that his wife and kids arent even living there with him. They prolly have property in a larger town.
