michael moore is an ideologue you may or may not agree with. However, he's the man on the streets on this one. He's been covering it for decades.

However, take that hat off and put on the opposite ideological hat. What really happened?

Nice to see a Roger & Me reference. I also recommend it.

Most of his other productions were taking aim at issues on a national level, and so they could be very polarizing. Roger & Me, which was his first production, is really localized on Flint, so it's hopefully less polarizing to someone watching it for the first time. Additionally, given what we now know about Flint, Roger & Me takes on a more poignant tone than it otherwise might have. [Edit: Spelling]

Irony being that GM was able to switch its water sources away from Flint because they found the new Flint water to be too corrosive.
