Writer and director Michael Moore is known for his documentaries on gun violence in America and how General Motors affected Flint, Michigan, titled, respectively, "Bowling for Columbine" and "Roger and Me." His most recent documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," is his "take on what happened to the United States after September 11; and how the Bush Administration used the tragic event to push its agenda" (quote taken from the plot outline from the Internet Movie Database). Widely known for his irreverence, Moore has been criticized for confusing politics and entertainment (see Sandy Starr's July 14 Spiked article, "Cinema of Cynicism"). Journalist Christopher Hitchens also faults him for, among other things, disguising frivolity as "an exercise in seriousness." Hitchens's review of Moore's film, "Unfairenheit 9/11: the Lies of Michael Moore," was published in June by Slate magazine and is available on-line.
