Last semester we were lucky enough to host a Q & A with documentary filmmaker Michael Moore at George Washington University with the help of the school's College Democrats. Today Moore's film, "Capitalism: A Love Story", releases on DVD, so I thought it would be a good time to revisit our interview with him.
Here's a short synopsis of the film, in case you haven't seen it yet:
In presenting a “fireball of a movie that might change your life†(Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), Moore “skewers both major political parties†(Claudia Puig, USA Today) for selling out the millions of people devastated by loss of homes and jobs to the interests of fat cat capitalists. Moore has “dug up some astonishing dirt†(Brian D. Johnson, Macleans), stories told in the faces of the foreclosed and evicted, in the food stamps received by hungry airline pilots, and in the courage of fired factory workers who refuse to go quietly. But more than a cry of despair, Moore’s film raises the possibility of hope. Capitalism: A Love Story is “The most American of films since the populist cinema of Frank Capra (It’s a Wonderful Life)†(Dan Siegel, Huffington Post ), “a movie that manages shrewdly, even brilliantly, to capitalize on the populist anger that has been sweeping the nation†(Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal ). Capitalism: A Love Story is loaded with over 80 minutes of bonus features and extended scenes, written and directed by Michael Moore!
And here is our Q & A session with the controversial director, in case you missed it the first time (or want to watch it again).
