OSCAR WINNING FILMMAKER Michael Moore has released a surprise film about Donald Trump, just three weeks before election day.
The previously unannounced film is called ‘TrumpLand’ and it was premiered at a free screening at New York’s IFC Center last night.
The left-wing director of Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 called the new film his ‘October surprise’.
The movie is apparently based on his failed efforts to stage a one-man show about Trump in an Ohio theatre. Moore said it was cancelled because he was told he was too controversial.
“See the film Ohio Republicans tried to shut down. Oscar-winner Michael Moore dives right into hostile territory with his daring and hilarious one-man show, deep in the heart of TrumpLand in the weeks before the 2016 election,” according to the synopsis offered by the IFC Center theatre in Brooklyn.
Moore announced news of his new film on Twitter and Facebook last night and the film’s regular run will begin at the New York theatre today. There are no further details about its wider release.
Moore attended last night’s screening and somewhat famously predicted that Trump would win the Republican primaries. He has also previously predicted that Trump would win the election.
Moore backed Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries. He has not endorsed Hillary Clinton, citing her support for the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 while serving as a New York senator.
TrumpLand is Moore’s second film release this year, after Where to Invade Next.
In that movie, he played a pseudo conqueror who plants the US flag wherever he goes, baffling onlookers.
Moore won an Oscar in 2003 for best documentary feature for Bowling for Columbine and took on President George W Bush in Fahrenheit 9/11

Eight years! I highly doubt a woman carrying out the same offence over here would even do eight months
@David Garland:
The courts would turn her into the victim. A suspended sentence and all the help she “deserves”. We have enormous sympathy for the criminally minded here. Britain has a bit of that too though. But not as pervasive.
@David Garland: Ah no she would
@David Garland: knew it was England from reading the headline. Realistically probably wouldnt even get 8mths here
Sick and weird 100%
Why aren’t women who engage in sexual assaults on minors referred to as peadophiles?
@Da Vid: Are they not? That’s what she is, though. Why wouldn’t they be? Sounds more like a sociopath though. Pretty shocked to read that she was 21. I thought at first they were all 16.
@Fiona Fitzgerald: in all the headlines regarding this woman, none called her a peadophile. If it were a male who carried out these assaults, well then..
People these days are truly messed up,
@Mick Hannigan: people have always been messed up.
@Mick Hannigan: what? All 7.6bn of us…..drama queen!
@Paul Furey: You would after all these years commenting so regularly on the Journal that you might have upped your game a little and become a little more articulate….but sadly no, it seems.
@Ger Healy: lol
Shocking , those poors girls. I hope they get plenty of support and counselling and are able to deal with this so they can form healthy relationships in the future.
@LittleBee: So much for #TrustWomen
@Daniel Dunne: what’s the connection here?
Why did they let a boy stay over with young girls for a couple of days ,I’d be thinking that would be a no no in the first place , that girl doesn’t look like she’s all there either ,
Her IQ was certainly high enough to convince her victims that she was a boy.
@joanne healy: having an iq has nothing to do with being a predator, manipulation has everything to do with being a predator
She looks nothing like a young teenage boy, she looks like the deranged woman she is with a baseball cap. How was she able to fool their parents? and why was she having sleepovers anyway? sorry im not victim blaming, its just so bizzare. Stuff of nightmares, really.
Lols
Call her what she is. A pedophile.
@Chris Keogan: well said
There was a similar case in the UK a few years ago, remember watching a documentary about it, it was a teenage girl dressing up as a lad and assaulting other teen girls. Sick on so many levels!
Wtf
Kids should only be friends with kids they have become friends with in school or sport or what ever camp etc they attend . The friends they play or talk to online should be real friends first not on line friends first . We all must pay closer attention to who they are playing with , it’s not easy but it’s our job.
Most sexual assault is committed by people known by the person. Parents, relatives, neighbours, friends etc. The concept of ‘stranger danger’ misses the point of actually educating young people on how to spot harmful behaviours/grooming and manipulation. Healthy relationship education as well as safe social media usage is extremely useful.
Meeting people online can be great because you can connect with people with similar interests and hobbies that you might not meet in real life first. I made great friends online (and in real life) as a teenager. But teaching about internet safety and ensuring any meeting happens safely is also important.
She is a pedophile.
Keep your children close
Girl who identifies as a man is a pedo. Gimp!
@Paddy O Rourke: woman who sexually assaults multiple children.
@Alan McArdle: sick twisted world we live in.
@Paddy O Rourke: there is nothing mentioned about her identifying as a man. Just that she dressed up as one as part of her manipulation.
Looks like Gollum with a cap.
In Ireland she wouldn’t even get jail
She is a peadophile! And in my opinion they should be shot. Waster of tax payers money and no use to society. If that’s too strong then put them all on an island somewhere together and they can molest each other.
@Irisheyes: she is on an island the only problem is it is to close to ours.
@Irisheyes: Seems just to me. Rockall?
@Shane Cormac O’Duibhleachain: lol yeah, a smaller uninhabited island if you want me to be more pacific
She must be very WOKE
have your say
