Features: DVD, Documentary
From acclaimed filmmaker and author Michael Moore comes The Awful Truth, the most daring documentary show to hit the American public since Moore's own TV Nation. Now, for the first time, this Emmy nominated series is available in one complete DVD set.
In the spirit of his award winning film Bowling For Columbine, Moore skewers politicians and the public alike, placing himself squarely in the middle of today's most controversial issues and events. Join Moore as he goes on a crusade for justice with Cracker, the Corporate Crime Fighting Chicken, spreads holiday cheer to deserving tobacco executives with the "Voice Box Choir," and brings a street pimp to congress as the answer to campaign finance reform.
Shot in Moore's trademark "guerrilla video" style, each of the 24 half-hour episodes is filled with scathingly funny observations and humorous rants that boldly and ironically provide valuable commentary on today's cultural landscape.
Editor's Note
From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award winning, and always confrontational filmmaker Michael Moore (ROGER & ME, TV NATION) comes a television series that publicly exploits the truths that many would rather be kept secret. His insistent and excessively persistent "guerilla" style approach has led him into controversial confrontations with the Mayor of New York, high-powered industrialists, and numerous conflicts with the law. Even his Corporate Crime-Fighting Chicken landed itself in Disney World's very own jail! Comedy meets controversy in this collection, which contains every episode of THE AWFUL TRUTH.
