Michael Moore:
"I don't compromise my values and I don't compromise my work. That's why I've been kicked from one network to the next: I won't give in."



Michael Francis Moore was born in 1954 in Flint, Michigan, U.S. He is an actor, director, screenwriter and producer whose purpose is to analyse or interrogate, as most of his documentaries expose people and events because he is a self-described liberal, who has criticized globalization, large corporations assult weapon ownership, the Iraq War, U.S President George Bush and the American health care system in his written and cinematic works. His strong opinions and will to expose these things has led him to make 4 of the top 8 highest-grossing documentaries of all time; Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko and Capitalism: A Love Story.


Moore has succesfully won 33 awards and has had 19 nominations (by far the most victorious of the 3 documentarists)

Fahrenheit 9/11:

Fahrenheit 9/11 is a 2004 documentary film by American filmmaker Michael Moore. The film takes a critical look at the presidency of George W. Bush, the War on Terror, and its coverage in the news media. The film holds the record for highest box office receipts by a general release political film. It is the highest grossing documentary of all time. It had a budget of $6million and made a gross revenue of $222,446,882! The film was distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment and was extremely controversial, generating criticism after its release shortly before the US presidential election in 2004. Moore stated in an interview that he hoped "to see Mr. Bush removed from the White House", therefore the purpose of his film was to influence the election; "This may be the first time a film has this kind of impact".
