Excerpt:
The year was 2006. Fred Litwin couldn't help noticing that Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 was playing all over his hometown of Ottawa – "in the main cinemas, in the repertory cinemas, on campus, and it was the talk of TV. I couldn't escape it."
Then he learned about a documentary called Michael Moore Hates America, made by a relatively unknown filmmaker named Mike Wilson. "I asked a local rep cinema if they would bring it in, since his film was not available on DVD. They quickly replied that they wouldn't." So Litwin decided to bring it to Ottawa himself.
This was not his line of work. He had an MBA in finance, and over the years had worked in various business enterprises in New York, Britain, Hong Kong, and Singapore. In 2000 he had retired to start his own successful music label, NorthernBlues.
