Michael Moore On Palestinian Film ‘From Ground Zero’, U.S. Distribution’s Self-Censorship Crisis & Making His First Movie In Seven Years
Michael Moore is backing Palestinian film From Ground Zero, despite a campaign to silence it. He is also working on a new film.
The proeject is acollection of 22 shorts by emerging local filmmakers told through fiction, documentary, docu-fiction, animation and experimental cinema, each capturing the daily challenges, tragedies and moments of resilience faced in the Palestinian enclave.
