international attention and became one
of the top grossing documentaries of all
time it also introduced the world to
moore’s in-your-face style and critique
of globalization in the film he chased
down the CEO of General Motors in an
attempt to have him answer for the
economic devastation caused to Moores
hometown of Flint Michigan because of
plant relocations to Mexico following
this breakout success Moore was given
the go-ahead for his television program

Bowling for Columbine was heavily
critical of the American government this
sentiment was increased considerably in
his 2004 release Fahrenheit 9/11 the
film specifically targeted then
President George W Bush and his
administration at the time Moore even
hoped the film would help prevent a Bush
reelection despite being unsuccessful
with this goal Moore did succeed in
vocalizing the climate of fear and
political opportunism the Bush
administration had orchestrated due to
anxiety surrounding the September 11th
attacks following that controversial
film more release sicko a documentary
tackling the problems within the
American healthcare system the film
premiered at Cannes and received a
standing ovation Moore again found
himself embroiled in controversy when it
was revealed he traveled to Cuba with

they need some medical attention these
huge successes were followed by the
poorly received documentary captain Mike

heavily criticized for being an overly
self promotional effort by Moore it

as he attempted to get a new generation
of voters involved in the political
process putting politics aside in 2009
more release capitalism a love story
which has been viewed either as his most
effective work yet or as a slanted and
self-righteous condemnation of the US
economic system we’re here to get the
money back for the American people I got

in here over his career as both the
filmmaker and author Michael Moore has
become one of the left wings most vocal
