Revision as of 13:23, 23 August 2002
Michael Moore is a documentary film director and author known for his unapologetically liberal point of view and his satirical approach. Moore became famous for his film Roger & Me, a documentary about what happens to his hometown Flint, Michigan, near Detroit, after General Motors closes its factories and opens new factories in Mexico, where the workers are paid much less. Moore also wrote Downsize This! and Stupid White Men, as well as the 2002 film Bowling for Columbine, a documentary on gun rights in the United States. The film won special notice at the Cannes Film Festival. Moore has also directed two television series, TV Nation and The Awful Truth, both with a vicious satirical wit.
Moore was previously a columnist for Mother Jones magazine and an employee of Ralph Nader. He left Nader's employ on bad terms, but he and Nader are still friends.
