If I’ve got them all, Michael Moore’s newest documentary is
his tenth:
2018 Fahrenheit 11/9
2015 Where to Invade Next
2007 Slacker Uprising
2007 Sicko
2004 Fahrenheit 9/11
1997 The Big One
1989 Roger & Me
I have listed all of these here because if you have seen any
of them then you are familiar with both his style and his politics. His newest
film is about the 2016 presidential election, for which President Donald Trump
was declared the winner in the early morning hours of Wednesday, November 9th
(hence the film’s title). There is nothing here that we have not seen or read
before. Much as I enjoy Michael Moore’s films, it is clear that he comes at his
topics with a very definite point of view, and for this reason you are
sometimes left wondering just how factually correct they are. But even if some
of the facts are exaggerated or taken out of context, which they undoubtedly
are, seeing his films still makes for fascinating and thought-provoking experiences,
and this one is no exception. Putting politics aside, it is high time that the
water supply in Flint, Michigan, should be cleaned up and the myriad of health
problems, particularly among the children of Flint, be aggressively addressed.
Love,
Rebecca
