According to the AP, filmmaker Michael Moore‘s new documentary about the global economic meltdown will be released on Oct. 2.  Moore says:

The wealthy, at some point, decided they didn’t have enough wealth.  They wanted more – a lot more. So they systematically set about to fleece the American people out of their hard-earned money. Now, why would they do this? That is what I seek to discover with this movie.”

This will be Moore’s third time dealing with subject matter related to corporate greed and corruption, following Roger & Me and The Big One. Whether the film wil have a positive effect on the economy remains yet to be seen, but one thing you can bank on is that it will  certainly have a positive effect on Moore’s pocketbook.
