Michael Moore goes after Donald Trump

Controversial American documentary maker Michael Moore, winner of the Palme d’Or in Cannes in 2004, for his film Fahrenheit 9/11, is back in the spotlight with his new film, Fahrenheit 11/9. The date of reference in his latest work is as traumatic as 9/11 in his view, with Donald Trump having taken over the presidency on November 9th, 2016. His latest work was well received at the Toronto Film Festival recently, and praised for his typically acerbic wit, unapologetic treatment of US politics, and his clear vision. Moore seeks to answer two “simple” questions: “How did we get here?” and “how can we get out?” Film critics have pointed to his ability to cut to the quick of political disaffection, his morose yet engaging gaze into the psyche of his country, and his warnings of the dangers of fascism as highlights of his latest work, which will be welcomed by an American youth hungry for political change.
