Tagline: "Discomfort exists, even in the comfort of your own home"

Synopsis: Controversial director, Michael Moore (Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9'11), pioneers the first ever movie/documentary HYBRID with his latest "PUBLIC RELATIONS AND THE ELITES," in which he bitch-slaps Hollywood hypocrites like George Clooney, Jack Nicholson, and Julia Roberts with hard-hitting interviews free of prior clearance by their public relations representatives. In today's Hollywood, where reporters' questions are limited by pr agents looking out for their client's best interest, often the most important questions aren't asked. Ever-the-extremist, Moore shows up on the national evening news in America, and gives celebrities like Tom Cruise the opportunity to answer the question: Are you really Gay? before announcing to the world that Tom really is. If the celebrities don't answer in one week, Moore assumes he is correct in his theories. And he asks Jack Nicholson, "are you a racist?" Moore's argument with this film is that public relations practitioners ought not dominate the field of journalism, and, or, influence journalistic behavior.

What the press would say:

"One of the most daring pictures ever!" Moore is single-handedly returning credibility to the field of journalism."
