Michael Moore made his movie because he wanted to talk to Trump-leaners.

But one theater in Ohio refused to let him show it there, apparently because of fear of protests.

According to Moore, the board told him he was "too controversial" and "the board is afraid that renting the theater to him may cause the theater to lose long-standing patrons. Our board here is fairly conservative and it was felt that Mr. Moore would try to sway people's minds to vote his way." Moore, of course, lauded the board for recognizing "the subversive intent behind this one-man show" and took the rejection "as a compliment."

In an interview with The Columbus Dispatch, Nancy Anderson, executive director for the Midland Theater, said there was no formal vote on canceling the performance, but added there were logistical concerns about the performance itself, as well as the "potential controversy and the potential for disruptive events to occur inside or outside the theater that could negatively affect the theater and other Newark businesses and residents, due to the current political climate."

In the same post, Moore said his producer had found another theater in Ohio, even deeper into "Trump country," that was willing to host him. In a follow-up post, Moore announced plans to perform his show at the Murphy Theater in Wilmington, Ohio in Clinton County. Moore noted that Clinton County has 25,000 registered voters, and only 500 are registered democrats.

"So why am I coming to Trump Country in Clinton County?" Moore continued. "Because I think I know why a lot of people in Ohio and Michigan, some of them my neighbors, are voting for Donald Trump – good Midwestern people whose lives have been upended by 'the system that's been rigged against them.' They used to be part of something that was called 'the middle class.' Now they have a chance to hit back, to pick up a virtual baseball bat and smash that old system by voting for the outsider known as Trump. I want to talk to these voters. I want to see if I can meet them half-way. And I want to give them an hour or so of some good laughs over the craziest election year we've ever seen."
