Michael Moore Makes Us Feel Good About Giving

It was originally supposed to be a concrete sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11, but the financial crisis was a lot more “current” than George Bush’s administration. In what should be considered a sub-genre of documentry film (has the term docu-comedy been coined yet?) Michael Moore sticks his head and hat out for a documentary film (Oct. 2nd) that “focuses on the global financial crisis and the U.S. economy looks at the meltdown via his usual satirical view point. It observes the corporate and political shenanigans that culminated in what Moore described as “the biggest robbery in the history of this country” – the massive transfer of U.S. taxpayer money to private financial institutions.”

I guess Moore must be at the completion stages for the Paramount Vantage/Overture project if he is making teaser trailers like this one. Look for the currently untitled Michael Moore doc to get its world premiere at TIFF in September.
