The United States of Insanity is a documentary film that explores the journey of the notorious rap duo Insane Clown Posse, also known as ICP. The film delves into their controversial career, their loyal fan base, and their battle with the FBI over their classification as a gang.
The film begins by introducing viewers to the world of ICP and their unique style of horrorcore rap, which has gained them a large cult following. However, in 2011, the FBI issued a report classifying Juggalos (the name given to ICP fans) as a "loosely organized hybrid gang." This classification led to discrimination against Juggalos, including job loss, denial of government benefits, and harassment from law enforcement.
The United States of Insanity follows ICP and their fans as they fight against this unfair classification and work to defend their First Amendment rights. The film features interviews with ICP members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, as well as Juggalos who have been affected by the FBI's classification.
Through the course of the film, viewers see how ICP has become more than just a music group, but a movement of inclusion and acceptance for those who don't fit into traditional societal norms. The United States of Insanity ultimately explores the larger issue of government overreach and the importance of protecting free speech.
Overall, The United States of Insanity is a compelling and thought-provoking look at a group and its fans fighting for their right to be themselves and celebrate their unique identity in the face of government oppression.
