Michigan filmmaker Nick Stumphauzer's first feature-length film, titled "How to Kill 14 People without Saying a Word," is set to premiere Oct. 27 at Historic Howell Theater in Howell, Michigan. 

In the press release, the film is described as a "controversial political documentary." It includes footage from the protest that occurred when Richard Spencer visited MSU's campus in March 2018, according to Stumphauzer.

When Spencer visited MSU, 25 people were arrested at the protest, according to a previous State News article. 

"This is an explosive film within the currently polarized political climate — Freedom of Speech, university protests and riots, terrorism, communism, fascism, and nazism are held up to the light," according to a press release.

The idea to create the documentary came to Stumphauzer after he witnessed the 2017 Berkeley protests while on tour with Milo Yiannopoulos.
