Michael Moore’s Donald Trump Movie Is the “Film to See Before It’s Too Late”
I’m a big Michael Moore fan, controlled opposition or not.

Go to the 20 minute mark if you want to hear an epic rant against the system and against out of control law enforcement.
The Jarvis family, a group of eight, goes on the run from the law—for seven years. They live on a boat, in a treehouse in a swamp. They escape capture time after time. And how do the kids turn out, living a life outside of society, as fugitives? Surprisingly great.
