The Stringer Exposes Utah’s Free Internet Myth

PARK CITY, Utah — Ten days before the premiere of the documentary *The Stringer* at the Sundance Film Festival, the Associated Press (AP) published a 23-page investigative report detailing a six-month study. Without having seen any footage of the film, the AP’s findings entirely contradicted its claims, which suggested that all Utah residents enjoy free high-speed Internet access. This stunning revelation has sent shockwaves through the media world, as Sundance and other major festivals are increasingly emphasizing unfiltered content. The report’s publication has already prompted calls for a reevaluation of how much screen time such documentaries can get these days.
