Rigged: The Voter Suppression Playbook
Self
"Rigged" shows viewers just what Republicans did – and continue to do – from creating new barriers to voter registration, to purging American citizens from the voting rolls without notice, to new and deliberate impediments to casting a vote. In addition, the film shows how GOP activists developed an elaborate but false narrative of widespread voter fraud in order to justify the necessity for new and draconian voting restrictions.

자본주의: 러브 스토리
Self
미국은 자유의 나라로 알려져 있다. 미국의 모든 용감한 기업 개척자들은 자유를 외쳤고, 또한 일찍이 정부의 헌법제정자들은 이를 민주주의라는 형태의 포맷으로 취해왔다. 그리고 어디서나, 어떤 방식으로든 "자본주의"라는 형식은 미국의 역사 길을 따라오게 되었고, 그것은 헌법이나 권리장전에서 항상 신성시 되어 왔다. 마이클 무어의 다큐멘터리 영화인 "자본주의: 러브스토리" 는 자본주의의 결점과 약점을 부각시키고 변호하는 방식으로 감독 본인의 추측을 기반으로 만들어진 주관적이면서 객관적인 다큐멘터리이다. 마이클 무어 감독은 최근 미국에 닥친 불황은 예측 가능했던 사건의 일례라고 주장한다. 영화를 보고 나면, 특히 부가영상들까지 보고 나면 (부가영상에는 관객들의 쉬운 이해를 위해 각종 관계자들의 인터뷰와 스피치, 강의내용 등을 기록하였다) 관객들은 다른 형태의 상거래가 존재한다는 것을 깨닫게 될 것이며, 또한 "자본주의" 라는 말과 "미국"이라는 단어는 같은 의미로 받아들여도 무방할거라는 의식을 관객들에게 심어주고 있다. 마이클 무어는 이 영화를 본 관객들은 이 영화에 감사하는 마음을 가지고 자리를 뜨게 될 것이라 확신한다. 미국 개봉에선 뉴욕과 LA의 4개 극장에서 1주일간 맛보기 상영한 후, 2주차에 전국 962개 극장으로 확대상영에 돌입한 첫 주말 3일 동안 445만 불의 수입을 벌어들이며 주말 박스오피스 8위에 랭크 되었다.
