Michael Moore

Michael Moore is an American author, liberal political commentator and filmmaker. He is the director and producer of:

• Bowling For Columbine
• Fahrenheit 9/11
• Sicko
• Capitalism: A Love Story

These are four of the top ten highest-grossing documentaries of all time!

Moore is very critical of certain people and things in his documentaries, for example the documentary Bowling For Columbine takes a critical look at the causes of the Columbine High School massacre and other acts of violence with guns.

Some examples of his work are:

Sicko (2007)

• The film investigates health care in the United States, focusing on its health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry.
  
• 'Sicko' was awarded the Palme D'Or (top honour) at the Cannes Film Festival and was the first documented film to win that award since 1956.
  
  
  
  
  

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

• The film takes a critical look at the presidency of George W. Bush, the War on Terror, and its coverage in the news media.
  
• 'Fahrenheit 9/11' was also awarded a Palme D'Or and recieved a 20 minute long standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival (the longest standing ovation in the festival's history)
