Trivia

According to the documentary Manufacturing Dissent - Michael Moore auf der Spur (2007), Michael Moore falsely implied that he could not get General Motors' CEO Roger B. Smith to respond in front of a camera. The makers claim that Moore actually had two interviews with Smith, but chose to leave these out of the documentary to create the illusion that Smith refused to answer for his actions. Moore has denied these claims, saying that if he had consciously held back such footage, General Motors would have undoubtedly used that fact to discredit him. See more
