Michael and Them

(Fox News) - A pair of liberal Canadian filmmakers who started out to make a program celebrating the controversial Michael Moore — has instead produced a critical look at the filmmaker.

The Times Online reports the two were, "disappointed and disillusioned" after following Moore around and learning about his methods. They say that Moore used the same evasion and avoidance tactics on them that he criticizes others for in his movies.

They say Moore chose not to use two on-camera interviews with General Motors CEO Roger Smith in his film "Roger and Me" — in which Moore is seen fruitlessly chasing an uncooperative Smith.

The two also contend Moore's people had them kicked out of one of Moore's appearances at Kent State University — after he had previously agreed to talk to them. Their film is called "Manufacturing Dissent" — and it is set to premiere at the Texas Film Festival Saturday.
