Attempting to bring balanced argument to the ongoing bickering between Michael Moore and his critics, this investigative effort probes the firebrand documentarian’s methodology.
Charges of manipulation dog the Bush-burner - hell, Moore himself has even admitted that “film is edited, it’s manipulated to present a point of view”. But he stands firm in the belief that “the facts in my films are 100 per cent true”.
There’s plenty to suggest there’s more to Moore’s one-man moral crusade than meets the eye, but Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine’s film, even-handed though it may be, simply doesn’t probe deep enough.
