Michael Moore, the filmmaker who brought Bowling for Columbine and Farenheit 9/11 and their respective controversies into the popular lexicon, takes the spotlight with his newest film, Sicko, intent on transforming American health care and the pharmaceutical industry.
Sicko
Sicko was released at Cannes on May 19, 2007 to an enthusiastic audience that included victims of the U.S. health care system who were interviewed in the film.
Originally intended as a critical analysis of the American health care system and pharmaceutical industry, Sicko took on new dimensions when Michael Moore discovered a group of 9/11 rescue workers who had become sick due to their work at ground zero and had not received needed medical treatment.
