Give Michael Moore an explosive subject to explore, like gun violence or the incompetent Bush administration, and he can be one of the most provocative documentary filmmakers around. However, his last film Capitalism: A Love Story failed to connect with audiences in the way most of Moore's projects do, and other than his social media rants (he's a must-follow on Twitter) he's been pretty quiet. Well, it's time to get loud again.
Today at TIFF saw the debut of Moore's latest doc, Where to Invade Next, and it's receiving some of the best reviews he's had since Fahrenheit 9/11. As the title suggests, the film explores America's propensity for war, bolstered by the infinite demands of the military industrial complex. Moore travels around the world looking at how other countries manage to deal with complicated issues without using force. It's no coincidence this trailer is also debuting on the 14th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, which led to the biggest foreign policy blunder in our country's history.
There's no distributor for the film yet but expect someone to pick it up very soon.
