While much of the mainstream media has written off Michael Moore as a foaming at the mouth radical, he fits easily in the mold of great documentarians: he’s a passionate muckraker who approaches his love for democracy with fearlessness and humor. Moore’s newest movie is his best since Bowling For Columbine, opening with the unexpected election of Donald Trump. While Moore doesn’t stint on the political barbs, he soon gets down to business: the man-made tragedy of the tainted water crisis in Flint, and its human cost. Unlike documentaries that either drag you down or boost you up with righteousness, Fahrenheit 11/9 is nothing less than a call to protect democracy.

“One of Michael Moore’s best and most incisively funny films. Moore is mad as hell and doesn’t want a single one of us to take it anymore.” Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.
