Michael Moore
Academy Award Winning Documentarian & Best-Selling Author
Michael Moore is the Oscar and Emmy winning director of the ground breaking, record setting films Roger & Me, Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11. Top prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, Fahrenheit 9/11 went on to become the highest grossing documentary of all time. It was also the first documentary to premiere at number one at the box-office on its opening weekend. Film Comment called it "The Film of the Year."
His 2007 documentary Sicko is self described as, "A comedy about 45 million people with no health care in the richest country on Earth."
Moore's latest film Slacker Uprising is the first feature length film to be released online, completely free. It is a collection of the footage from his tour of college campuses during the fall of 2004. Cameras followed him to 62 cities as he urged young people to vote for John Kerry.
In addition to winning the Academy Award for Bowling for Columbine, Moore won the Emmy Award for his series TV Nation. He was also nominated for his other series The Awful Truth. It was hailed as "the smartest and funniest show on TV" by The Los Angeles Times. Moore also wrote and directed the comedy feature Canadian Bacon starring the late John Candy, and the BBC documentary The Big One. He has directed music videos for R.E.M., Rage Against the Machine, Neil Young and System of a Down.
Moore is also America's number one selling nonfiction author, with Stupid White Men and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation and Dude, Where's My Country? No other author has spent more weeks on The New York Times hardcover non-fiction list. Stupid White Men was also awarded Britain's top book honor, British Book of the Year, the first time the award has been bestowed on an American author. Moore's other best-selling books include Downsize This! Random Threats from an Unarmed American and Adventures in a TV Nation, which he co-wrote with his wife Kathleen Glynn.
Moore's first book in five years, Mike's Election Guide 2008, answers "Man on the street" political questions and then profiles the presidential candidates. It's goal is to get people to vote and to educate Americans about their political choices in Moores typical humorous way.
Other critically acclaimed books include Will They Ever Trust Us Again: Letters from the War Zone, which is a compilation of heart-breaking and inspiring letters Moore has received from soldiers in Iraq and from their families back home; and The Official Fahrenheit 9/11 Reader, which contains backup materials for the film, essays, and the film's screenplay. His books have been translated in over 30 languages, and have gone to #1 in Italy, Germany, France, Japan, Great Britain, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand.
Moore was born in Flint, Michigan, attended Catholic schools, was an Eagle Scout, Newspaper Boy of the Week, and at 18, was the youngest person ever elected to public office in the state of Michigan.
