Moore’s Cuban Tour
For his next documentary, "Sicko," provocateur Michael Moore apparently invited a group of 9/11 responders to accompany him to Cuba and sample the country's socialized healthcare system. Harmful stunt or good medicine?
For his next documentary, “Sicko,” provocateur Michael Moore apparently invited a group of 9/11 responders to accompany him to Cuba and sample the country’s socialized healthcare system. Harmful stunt or good medicine? The New York Post’s Janon Fisher chooses the former option.
TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARNew York Post:
The trip was to be filmed as part of the controversial director’s latest documentary, “Sicko,” an attack on American drug companies and HMOs that Moore hopes to debut at the Cannes Film Festival next month.
Two years in the making, the flick also takes aim at the medical care being provided to people who worked on the toxic World Trade Center debris pile, according to several 9/11 workers approached by Moore’s producers.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
