A Love Story

On
the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece Roger & Me,
Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story comes home to the issue he's
been examining throughout his career :
the
disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans
(and by default, the rest of the world).
But
this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene
far wider than Flint, Michigan.
From
Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial
epicenter in Manhattan, Michael Moore will once again take film goers into
uncharted territory. With both humor and outrage, Michael Moore's Capitalism:
A Love Story explores a taboo question: What is the price that America pays
for its love of capitalism?
Years
ago, that love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream is
looking more like a nightmare as families pay the price with their jobs, their
homes and their savings.
Moore
takes us into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside
down; and he goes looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere.
What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies,
abuse, betrayal...and 14,000 jobs being lost every day.
Capitalism:
A Love Story is both a culmination of Moore's previous works and a look into
what a more hopeful future could look like. It is Michael Moore's ultimate
quest to answer the question he's posed throughout his illustrious filmmaking
career :
Who
are we and why do we behave the way that we do?

When tens of thousands
march in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles on March 20 –
we are going to tie together the issue of endless war and
skyrocketing unemployment and poverty.
If we don’t act, no one will.
Consider these scandalous facts:
-
Today, the Pentagon
announced that tens of thousands of Marines are invading the
southern provinces of Afghanistan in the next few days. General
Barry McCaffrey predicts 300-500 killed and wounded each month
in the next few months. The generals never bother talking about
the loss of Afghan lives.
-
Yesterday, Secretary
of Defense Gates submitted the largest military budget in U.S.
history. The $708 billion includes nearly $500 million each day
for Iraq and Afghanistan.
-
Hours later, the
bankrupt insurance giant AIG announced that it was doling out
$100 million more in bonuses. AIG exists because it received
$180 billion in taxpayers’ bailout. The federal government
received an 80 percent share in AIG, which means Obama’s
Treasury Secretary Geithner agreed to these bonuses. AIG will
give millions more bonuses in March.
-
More than 25 million
people are unemployed or seriously underemployed while the
bankers, war contractors and other corporate crooks make record
profits and record bonuses.
-
Personal
bankruptcies rose 32 percent in the past year as families lost
their jobs, medical benefits and their homes.
Take to streets. Tell
every family and friend, co-worker and fellow student that it's time
to get on the bus. It’s time for the people to speak out. It’s
time to raise hell!
