Moore and Us by Jesse Larner

One of the more controversial figures in modern film making today is Michael Moore.

In a few short years he has established himself as not only a controversial filmmaker but also as a cultural icon of the left and outspoken opponent of the Bush administration in the United States. Moore and Us by Jesse Larner charts Moore’s entire career from early days in journalism to his current almost cult status. Critical at times but offering praise where it is due the book offers unique insights into the links between politics and entertainment in today’s society.
