Filmmaker Michael Moore calls out Senator Chris Dodd in his latest documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story, for receiving corrupt sweetheart loans from Countrywide Financial. Moore discloses a recent phone call he received from a "well known, well connected" person around the Democratic Party to "cool it" on the senator from Connecticut.
-----
Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do? Writer, director and producer Michael Moore has been trying to answer that question his entire filmmaking career. His latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story, investigates the powerful forces behind the calamitous predicament in which countless Americans are finding themselves: losing their homes, jobs and savings to foot the bill for past spending.
What is the price that America - and the rest of the world - pays for its love of capitalism?
From Middle America to the halls of power in Washington to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Moore takes filmgoers into uncharted territory as he tries to get to the heart of the matter. - Commonwealth Club of California
Michael Moore is an Academy Award-winning American filmmaker, author and liberal political commentator. He is the director and producer of Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Sicko, three of the top five highest-grossing documentaries of all time.
In September 2008, he released his first free movie on the Internet, Slacker Uprising, documenting his personal crusade to encourage more Americans to vote in presidential elections. He has also written and starred in the TV shows "TV Nation" and "The Awful Truth."
Moore is a self-described liberal who has criticized globalization, large corporations, assault weapon ownership, the Iraq War, U.S. President George W. Bush and the American health care system in his written and cinematic works. In 2005, Time magazine named him one of the world's 100 most influential people.
Also in 2005, Moore started the annual Traverse City Film Festival in Traverse City, Michigan. In 2008, he closed his Manhattan office and moved it to Traverse City, where he is working on his new film.

@akgregor - What do you care about what's going on here. You're in Canada. You're still not getting it. So tell me....when will you get it? Govt breeds corruption in finances, because people see an easy and unregulated way to get cash. The free market? Not so much. As soon as a doctor has to COMPETE, prices go down. Happens all the time...

@cr500blur sounds to me like this post contradicts your last post. i agree with everything except that last sentence. thats totally wrong. are you telling me you would rather continue to have US healthcare privatized???? there was also a lobbyist for the health care system who realized how immoral he and the system was so he quit and wrote a book on it too.

@lee0122333 - know all about it. You are missing the point. Abramoff took advantage of the system, because he could. THAT is the problem. The system is broken and corrupt, whether you like it, believe it, disagree with it.....whatever. The govt being involved with public matters BREEDS corruption. PERIOD. If the govt wasn't involved, competition would correct the industry.
