Spirit of America's 'G.O.P. Meltdown' Page

"Capitalism: A Love Story" [Dog Eat Dog/Weinstein Oct 2009]   Back in 2008, Michael Moore described his next film as being about 'the wonders of capitalism'. However, fate provided him with the 'Meltdown', the still-rolling collapse of the U.S. and worldwide economy. The American Dream is looking like a nightmare for more and more ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down, as families pay the price each day with their jobs, their homes and their savings – the disastrous impact of unregulated corporate dominance and scared politicians seeking re-election over mystified & angry citizens across America. Co-produced, written & directed by & starring Michael Moore; already won 2 awards at the Venice Film Festival Starz / Anchor Bay color DVD [DUE March 2010] for $20.99   full credits from IMDb • official movie site
