Description:
Just
in time for election season, America's favorite political
provocateur, Michael Moore, is back with his new film, Where to
Invade Next. Honored by festivals and critics groups alike, Where
to Invade Next is an expansive, hilarious and subversive comedy
in which the Academy Award-winning director confronts the most
pressing issues facing America today and finds solutions in the most
unlikely places. The creator of Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling
for Columbine has returned with an epic movie that’s unlike
anything he has done before—an eye-opening call to arms to capture
the American Dream and restore it in, of all places, America.
Biography: Michael
Francis Moore studied journalism at the University of
Michigan-Flint, and also pursued other hobbies such as gun shooting,
for which he even won a competition. Michael began his journalistic
career writing for the school newspaper The Michigan Times,
and after dropping out of college briefly worked as editor for Mother
Jones. He then turned to filmmaking, and to earn the money for
the budget of his first film, Roger & Me (1989) he ran
neighborhood bingo games. The success of this film launched his
career as one of America's best-known and most controversial
documentarians. He has produced a string of documentary films and TV
series predominantly about the same subject: attacks on corrupt
politicians and greedy business corporations. He landed his first big
hit with Bowling for Columbine (2002) about the bad points of
the right to bear arms in America, which earned him an Oscar and a
big reputation. He then shook the world with his even bigger hit Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), making fun of President George
W. Bush. This is the highest-grossing documentary of all time.
Michael is known for having the guts to give his opinion in public,
which not many people are courageous enough to do, and for that is
respected by many.
