Laibach - Divided States of America (2006)

Divided States Of America, directed by award winning Slovenian film maker Sašo Podgoršek, is a unique document of Laibach’s US tour, set during the traumatic 2004 post-election atmosphere in a country deeply divided by two opposite political and cultural poles. Laibach conducted its first tour of North America in 1989, two years before the disintegration of its mother country, Yugoslavia. It was called "Sympathy for the Devil Tour" and was followed by two further tours in 1992 and 1997.

The first stop was in Washington, D.C., only a gunshot from the White House and only one day after the election results had been announced.
