Filmmaker Michael
Moore examines the current state of American Politics. He is particularly interested in the
Donald Trump presidency, the elections, gun violence and grassroots democratic
movements.
This film brings up
incidents that I would like to read about and get further information. What did the Bush administration really
know about Iraq? Also, why the switch
from Lake Huron water in Flint Michigan to the polluted water from the Flint
River? Why did President Obama
come to Flint allegedly to help the people but he drank the water as if there
wasn’t anything wrong? I would
like to know more about the election between Trump and Clinton too. The one thing this film does is give
you the determination to learn more!!

Special
Note: The title is a play on the
title for Moore’s other film about the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. It also refers to the fact that Trump
was projected to be the next President at 2:29AM on November 9, 2016. Originally, Moore was working with
producers Harvey and Bob Weinstein in May 2017. The funding fell through and allegations emerged the
following October about Harvey.
The crew was laid off and the production shut down. Moore bean to focus on a Broadway shoe,
The Terms of My Surrender and it ran for 12 weeks.
