With his controversial and probing documentaries like Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine, and books like Dude, Where’s My Country?, Michael Moore insistently pokes at the powerful in corporate and political America.

Moore's Movie with a Mission
| Moore made headlines and broke box office records with his latest documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11, in which he relentlessly probes the current administration's handling of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. As he accepted the the Palme d'Or -- the Cannes Film Festival's top honors -- Moore commented, "I did not set out to make a political film. I want people to leave thinking that was a good way to spend two hours. The art of this, the cinema, comes before the politics."
