United We Stand is a 2003 feature documentary directed by Matteo Barzini about America's reactions to 9/11 and the Iraq War.
The documentary was presented in the New Territories section of the official selection at the 2003 Venice International Film Festival.
[1][2] During, and immediately after the war in Iraq, a fim crew travelled six thousand miles from Chicago to Los Angeles, via Dallas and Las Vegas, (with a final brief visit to New York), gathering interviews on the road about the war.
[3] The responses, often shocking, sometimes violent, appalled, heartfelt, but never banal, show the radical pro and anti-war polarization of a country, and give an updated and unusual image of what America has become since 11 September 2001.
