Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore has a reputation for making outspoken documentaries highly critical of big corporations, gun violence, and the current administration's handling of 9/11. As Brian mentioned in a previous post, Moore's current cause is health care.

His latest documentary, Sicko, is a scathing attack on a US health care system that leaves 50 million Americans uninsured. In the film, Moore takes patients from the US to Cuba, in an attempt to prove that they could receive better treatment outside the country.

Sicko hasn't been released yet, but it just received a huge endorsement. Moore appeared on Oprah yesterday to promote the movie, and the talk show host called it "the one film you must see this summer." Apparently Oprah was so moved by the the message, that she intends to make health care for all one of her main missions this year.

I haven't seen Sicko, but for the sake of those 50 million Americans, let's hope its message continues to inspire people to take action.
