there is nothing stopping you from doing what Michael Moore did when he decided to make Roger & Me.
You too can address "real poverty issues" if you are so impassioned. I think that is Michael Moore's real message.
Yes, Roger & Me was a documentary about factory closings.
It is an exercise in which Moore acts as an advocate for the laid-off citizens of his hometown Flint, Michigan.
The whole premise of the movie is Michael Moore's relentless pursuit of GM CEO Roger Smith in an attempt to confront him with the ramifications to the community.
The GM decision to shut down the economy of a city that was built to serve the interests of GM is a notably heartless thing to witness.
Bravo to Michael Moore for bringing the big-picture to the big-screen.
