    • 2003

      Michael Moore, incubo degli "Stupid White Men" di tutto il pianeta, è tornato più scatenato che mai con un obiettivo semplice e chiaro, per nulla ambizioso: l'uomo che si è intrufolato nella Casa Bianca grazie all'aiuto non proprio disinteressato dei suoi amici petrolieri deve sloggiare. Ma nell'occhio del ciclone non c'è solo il povero George W.: gli tengono compagnia sulla graticola quei famelici megaboss delle multinazionali che hanno rubato miliardi dai risparmi e dalle pensioni dei loro dipendenti, quei legislatori che hanno fatto a pezzi le libertà civili americane in nome della "sicurezza della patria", nonché quel certo cognato destrorso che riesce, un anno dopo l'altro, a rovinare i pranzi di famiglia con le sue idiozie.
