Michael Moore takes aim at money men

By Keily Oakes
Entertainment reporter, BBC News, at the Venice Film Festival


Agitator supreme Michael Moore is back with a new target - and this time he wants the world to rebel against it.

Capitalism: A Love Story is Moore's latest documentary, examining some of the many things he thinks are wrong with his country.

His previous offerings have seen him attack the health care system, gun culture and the war with Iraq.

"I had been wanting to do a movie about capitalism and about a year and a half ago, I finally started," he says. "I saw a lot of things happening in terms of people losing their jobs and foreclosures.

"So I decided to get going on this film because I thought we had an economy built on sand, a house of cards.

"They were collecting more and more of what exists and people in the bottom 50% were struggling to get by." ............(more)
