Michael Moore, documentary filmmaker, television producer and author, produced his first feature-length documentary Roger and Me, in 1989. The film is a study of the devastating effect that the loss of the General Motors factory had on the citizens of Flint, Michigan. According to the LA Times, it remains the highest-grossing narrative documentary in the history of American film.

His best-selling book “Stupid White Men: And Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation”, which was almost pulped by the publisher after September 11th, is in its 12th month on the New York Times, best-seller list and is once again the best selling book in the country.
