Moore Takes ‘Sicko’ to Sacramento
Director Michael Moore will use his new documentary "Sicko" as an advocacy tool for healthcare reform on June 12, when he will testify before the California State Legislature in Sacramento about his film -- a scathing critique of the U.S. healthcare system. Moore will also join nurses' and doctors' activist groups, as well as state Sen. Sheila Kuehl, for a rally at the state Capitol.
