As America’s most famous documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore has been unafraid to challenge the most powerful and privileged interests in the United States.
He took on heartless corporate titans in Roger and Me, dismantled the disastrous Iraq war in Fahrenheit 9/11 and forever infuriated the U.S.
gun lobby with Bowling For Columbine. Along the way, he became the rumpled, ball-capped mascot of the American left, who loved watching him skewer big-business fat cats and hypocritical Republican lobbyists while the cameras rolled.
Nevermind that he often got his facts wrong, or that he employed an unfair brand of gotcha journalism to embarrass and vilify his targets.
