He's made them squirm and look foolish, extracting some striking answers along the way. Now the tables have turned, and Moore has become the subject of a film that questions his tactics and approach to political film-making. This documentary, made by two Canadians, Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine, former fans of the politically charged Moore, takes a critical look at his techniques, from his editing process to his use of "out of context" information. They offer a different side of the man who has been hailed by the left as a pivotal force in swaying the public's opinions about the key issues of the day. [More]
