Michael Moore gives details on his anti-Trump documentary and shares the release date

Michael Moore went on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Thursday and revealed details and a clip of his upcoming documentary, "Fahrenheit 11/9."

The movie will focus on Donald Trump's presidency.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker also said the movie would be released in theaters on September 21.
On Thursday, the Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore paid a visit to "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" to give the first glimpse of his upcoming documentary, "Fahrenheit 11/9."

The project will be a look at President Donald Trump and the state of the country. And in typical Moore fashion, the filmmaker will be front and center throughout the story.

In a clip that Moore showed during his chat with Colbert, Moore pulls up to the gates of Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida — "the Southern White House," as Moore refers to it — and asks to see Trump. It's one of the classic bits you see in all his movies: showing up unannounced and trying to get time with the big name he's focused his story on. At one point, while talking to security, Moore says, "Just tell him it's me."

Moore ended up not getting any time with the president while shooting that footage. After the clip, Colbert asked Moore whether he was civil when he went to Mar-a-Largo.

"I am as civil as any Eagle Scout, Catholic altar boy could be when confronted with the devil," Moore said.

and Amazon Prime in October. I know the man wants to get paid, but he has the chance of having a lot more eyeballs on it that way.

On the other hand I think some filmmakers could do a better job of actually highlighting the corruption. Netflix/Amazon Prime is the new Washington Post. You could advertise it like House of Cards without the murders (at least not in the US of US citizens).
