Michael Moore offers new election-centric doc for free

Given that we’re headed into the final leg of the longest election cycle in recent history, it’s actually a small miracle we haven’t heard more from Michael Moore.

Michael Moore plans to dip his brush into the pot of political dissent and dissatisfaction once again. The Oscar-winning director and poster child for poli-docs is making a sequel to his hit documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 for Overture Films and Paramount Vantage, Variety reports. The film, referred to informally in some circles as Fahrenheit 9/11 ½, will start where Moore left off four years ago, examining the time since, and consequences of, the Bush administrations policies after eight years. In the first film, Moore presented a caustic look at President Bush’s handling of the Sept. 11 attacks and the war on...  read more
