Fahrenheit 11/9 (15)
Directed by Michael Moore
DURING an appearance on The Roseanne Show alongside Michael Moore in 1998, Donald Trump praised the film-maker's debut documentary and told the director how he hoped he would never make a film about himself.
Fast-forward two decades. Trump is now US president and Moore has turned the full force of his cinematic prowess on this controversial figure, exploring the two most burning questions — how the fuck did we get here and how the fuck do we get out?
His film opens with a heartbreaking montage of the run-up to the US presidential elections, showing voters full of an unwavering belief that Hillary Clinton was going to make history by becoming the country's first woman president.
