An Academy Award-winning filmmaker, author and activist, Michael Moore is one of America's most fearless political commentators.

His Fahrenheit 9/11 won top prize at Cannes and set box-office records, and he turned his attention to the health industry in SiCKO. He takes on Wall Street in his new film, Capitalism: A Love Story.
