The Free State Project asks a simple question: what happens if 20,000 people who want smaller government all move to the same state? This film adapts the project's original list, 101 Reasons to Move to New Hampshire, written by Michele Dumas in 2002, into a documentary case for the "Live Free or Die" state as the destination Free Staters chose by vote in 2003. It walks through the reasons on that list category by category: government structure, taxes and economics, geography, environment, and the texture of daily community life, arguing that New Hampshire's existing low-regulation culture made it the practical choice over other candidate states. The film covers what the movement has become since, with more than 26,000 people now signed on and over 6,000 already relocated, and treats their presence as a live experiment in whether a concentrated bloc of like-minded newcomers can actually shift local and state policy rather than just national rhetoric. It stays close to its source list throughout, using each reason as a building block for the larger pitch.
