NEW YORK -- Filmmaker Michael Moore is making a documentary on Donald Trump entitled "Fahrenheit 11/9," a nod to his most famous work set in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks as well as the date the U.S. president was elected. When contacted by AFP, The Weinstein Company, the Weinstein brothers' U.S. film studio, said they were unable to comment. The name of the leftist filmmaker's latest documentary stems from the date the results of last year's presidential election were finalized, Nov. 9, 2016. During the 2016 presidential election, Moore sought to mobilize public opinion against Trump and was one of the very few public figures to say the then-candidate stood a strong chance of winning. Three weeks before the election, he rushed out a surprise documentary, "Michael Moore in Trumpland," an ode to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton that he made in just 12 days.
