Capitalism: A Love Story

Filmmaker Michael Moore is back at it again, this time he’s tackling capitalism in his documentary Capitalism: A Love Story, which he screened at the Venice Film Festival yesterday.

The film avows the conniving buddy-buddy relationship between the government and the banking system which eventually led to the housing and financial crisis; costing millions of Americans their homes and jobs. In particular, Moore blames hedge funds that allow banks to basically gamble with investor’s money in intricate derivatives.

‘A Love Story’ features families whose lives have been ruined by the banking system. However, the filmmaker insinuates that a change in the system began with the election of Barack Obama and ultimate change depends on democratic participation by citizens.

Capitalism: A Love Story hits theatres nationwide on October 2.
