Moore tackles financial meltdown

BBC


Award-winning film-maker Michael Moore has announced the title of his forthcoming documentary, which looks at the global economic meltdown.

In a statement, the Fahrenheit 9/11 director said Capitalism: A Love Story would be "be the perfect date movie".

He added: "It's got it all - lust, passion, romance and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day."

Moore, who has made three of the top six highest-earning documentaries, will release the film in the US in October.

'Biggest swindle'

The exact date - 2 October - is a year and a day after the US Senate voted to approve a $700 billion bailout of Wall Street.

"It's a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let's just say it: It's capitalism," Moore said. ............(more)

5. I live between two medium size cities. One shows it the other doesn't

Like everything else in this country, theaters are pretty much a monopoly in a town, so the owner can easily censor material. I have talked to their front office and they told me they don't care if they lose business. I have not spent one nickel in the theater chain since they refused to air 'Farenheit 911'
FYI - Fridley theaters in the midwest.
