MOORE PLANS UNOFFICIAL SICKO PREMIERE
Filmmaker MICHAEL MOORE will premiere controversial movie SICKO in Michigan as part of a local Democrat fundraiser.
The director, whose new film criticises the U.S. healthcare system, will screen the movie on 16 June (07) for an Antrim County Democratic Party event 13 days before Sicko’s 29 June U.S.-wide release date.
Moore’s wife Kathleen Glynn, who is credited as the movie’s executive producer, is vice-chairwoman of the organisation, and helped organise the fundraiser.
He says, "I’m doing this at my wife’s request. Everyone is invited." But he adds he would just as happily screen the film for rival political audiences: "I’d be glad to do a screening for any Republican group ready to provide assistance to those having a difficult time making it."

You’ll be amazed.
