The Story Of
ARebel &
His Mike!
"America has an irrepressible new humoristin thetradition of Mark Twain, he isMichael Moore. Roger & Me isrude, rollicking...witty...leaving theaudience roaring with laughter."
-Vincent Canby, The New York Times
In 1989, Michael Moore, winner of 2002's Best Documentary Feature Academy Award
andCannes Film Festival Special Jury Prizefor Bowling For Columbine,
triumphantly burst upon theAmerican moviemaking scene with Roger &
Me,a hilarious, penetrating forerunner of theindependent film movement.
Moore doggedly andhilariously triedto do what every working stiff dreams of;
talkto theman at thetop. His effortsto meet General Motors Chairman Roger Smith
andpersuade himto visit Flint, Michigan, framea film that uses humorto devastating effect. Roger & Me
champions people over profits andslyly lampoons corporate Americaas it shows how theFlint folks cope with economic setbacks. As
The Village Voice's J. Hoberman wrote, theresult is"gutsy, populist, outraged andoutrageous."
