    Today I watched a documentary called Harlan County USA which is about strike action undertaken by coal miners and their spouses during 1973 and it won an Oscar. I thought it was brilliant; it deals with scabs, spineless union reps, uncaring capitalists and all the important things experienced in strike action.
    i posted a link on youtube to the full film ^^^^^^

    War is when the government tells you who the enemy is, revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

    Michael Moore is a progressive at best, but some of his movies are good for people who aren't very political or who otherwise wouldn't be exposed to the views expressed in his documentaries.

    I'd rank his top three works as:

    1. The Awful Truth (late 90s/early 2000s TV show)
    2. Roger and Me
    3. Capitalism: A Love Story

    I wouldn't bother at all with Fahrenheit 9/11.
