Why all this Fuss About Michael Moore?

Recently we have been hearing a lot about a huge guy with glasses and a baseball cap… He seems to have appeared all of a sudden… out of nowhere… or isn´t that so!


1. Where is Michael Moore from?
2. Michael Moore did a film that has to do with the use of arms in his country. What is the title? What is it exactly about?
3. What is his latest film? Why has it been so controversial?
4. Why is he interested in the War In Iraq?
5. Where is Iraq? Which countries have borders with Iraq?
6. What does “Islam” mean? Who is Jesus for the Muslims? What are their most important festivities?
7. Who are the “Sunni” and the “Shiites”? In what do they differ?
8. What is “Not in Our Name”? What has drawn all these people together? What do they all want?
9. What is the latest action that has taken place organised by the “Not in our name” platform?
10. Many artists submit the “Not in our name” pledge. Can you find three different songs with this title, or similar, in support of the issue? Who are the artists? And what is each one about? Which one do you like best? Why?


NOW, AFTER ALL THE BROWSING YOU HAVE DONE, LOOK FOR THE “PLEDGE OF RESISTANCE” AND PUT IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS (80 words maximum). DO YOU THINK MICHAEL MOORE AGREES WITH THIS?
