Michael Moores film Farenheit 911 is being challenged by a couple of left wing Canadians in their new documentary Manufacturing Dissent. The title alone is enough to find me in the closet searching for an old cheerleading outfit:
When we started this project we hoped to have done a documentary that celebrated Michael Moore. We were admirers and fans, said Debbie Melnyk, who made the film with her husband, Rick Caine. Then we found out certain facts about his documentaries that we hadnt known before. We ended up very disappointed and disillusioned.
when Caine and Melnyk began to follow him as part of their own documentary, their efforts to interview him met with the same kind of obstruction, denial and, ultimately, physical ejection that Moore had suffered when he tried to track down Roger Smith, the former chief executive of General Motors, for his first film, Roger & Me.
Its encouraging when folks from the other side of the political spectrum just tell it as they see it. Find the story Tables turned on Farenheit 9/11s maker, a timesonline article out of the U.K.
