Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 director Michael Moore is set to take on the American government and its foreign policy once again, with the filmmaker revealing details of his new documentary Where to Invade Next, which he has been making “in secret” since 2009.
“The issue of the United States at infinite war is something that has concerned me for quite some time, and provides the necessary satire for this film,” said Moore in a Periscope broadcast. “[There’s] this constant need it seems to always have an enemy – where’s the next enemy so we can keep this whole military industrial complex alive, and keep the companies that make a lot of money from this in business. I’ve always been a little bothered by that, so that’s where the comedy comes from.”
Where to Invade Next is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
