“Gray State is less a movie than it is a warning,” David Crowley said about a fiction film he was making about a second American Revolution, this time completely from within. “We do not live in a dictatorship, but we do live in a police state. . . . Americans believe that they can’t do anything, and day by day they’re becoming correct.” While crowdfunding the film, tragedy struck, and Crowley and his wife and daughter were dead. Director Erik Nelson delves into the story, which is filled with mystery, intrigue, and, perhaps, conspiracy, in A Gray State, which opens today at Cinema Village.
