I just realized that Michael Moore hasn't released a film in five years.

Does anyone know if he's working on project currently?

We need him now more than ever even though I can understand his being sick of the crap he was always put through for just exposing the truth.

I really enjoyed his movies. My favorite one was Bowling for Columbine.

Despite the amount of corruption there it to expose, maybe that is enough for him.

I think his films were meant to wake people up. Not enough of us apparently are taking the hint, in my estimation.

His net worth at the time of his divorce in 2013 was estimated at $50 million. He said at one point he was buying a yacht and going to relax. So I don't expect any more films from him.
