Review of Manufacturing Dissent (2007) by Brandon P — 17 Nov 2007

What makes this movie just so interesting is not just its subject matter in examining Moore, and what he's done in his past, but how it came to be. A few Canadian documentary film makers were commissioned to do one on Moore, and began it as fans of Moore.

However, as they went further into Moore's past and even current actions, they discovered that while they still agree with Moore's politics, his tactics are manipulative and misleading and simply not what a documentary is supposed to be.

Of particular interest is how they get film critics and other documentary film makers to talk about how, politics aside, Moore isn't being true to what documentaries are supposed to be and is abusing the medium.
