#99. Untitled Michael Moore Project

Director/Writer/Producer: Michael Moore 
Producers: Newbie producer Matthew Brown (Freakonomics) and longtime Moore-producer Kathleen Glynn (Fahrenheit 9/11)
Distributor: Overture Films

The Gist: This is a look at the global financial crisis and the U.S. economy during the transition between the incoming Obama Administration and the outgoing Bush Administration.

Fact: This was originally conceived as a follow-up to Fahrenheit 9/11. 

Why is it on the list?: You can disagree with his viewpoint, his editing practices and how he positions his docs as first person accounts, but Moore’s commentary on American politics almost always, — provides for good debate and laughs.

Release Date/Status?: Currently being filmed and edited, Moore should have this ready for a Cannes release. Expect the doc to circulate into theaters rather quickly – as the “facts” might be outdated.
