Muckraking documentary film making was becoming popular in the late 90s and 2000s. But before Morgan Spurlock and Josh Fox, there was Michael Moore.
With righteous indignation, he sets about to show the foibles and the abuses of power of the rich and powerful.
He is famously from economically depressed Flint, Michigan, as seen in his first movie, "Roger & Me". He has a very "in your face" style of interviewing people.
