Michael Moore Boards Palestinian Oscar Entry ‘From Ground Zero’ as Executive Producer: ‘It’s an Honor to Stand in Solidarity’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Michael Moore has joined 'From Ground Zero,' a collection of 22 shorts made by filmmakers living through war in Gaza, as executive producer.
A collection of shorts made by 22 Palestinian filmmakers living through war in present day Gaza, “From Ground Zero” blends animation, documentary and fiction to “capture the steadfastness of the human spirit and enduring creativity that thrives even in the face of relentless devastation,” according to the producers. They have made a brilliant film in the midst of what Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have now declared a genocide,” said Moore, who won the Oscar in 2003 for his groundbreaking documentary “Bowling for Columbine” and the Palme d’Or in 2004 for “Fahrenheit 9/11.” , Variety said that each short was “unique in its conception and yet bound by a common resilience, and a need to document the violent interruption of life and routine.” It was selected as one of the 15 shortlisted films for the international feature category earlier this month.
