Capitalism: A Love Story
CrimeDocumentary128 min
Michael Moore turns his attention to the 2008 financial crisis, arguing that corporate power reaches far beyond Wall Street into foreclosures, poverty-level wages, for-profit prisons, and the bailout machinery in Washington. Moore is the guide and agitator, mixing interviews, archival footage, and confrontations as he follows money through banks, government offices, and American homes. Public figures including Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders appear alongside news clips of presidents, pundits, and executives, while Moore also takes on a religious question: whether free-market capitalism can coexist with the values many of its defenders claim to uphold.
