Sicko (DVD)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Optimum Michael Moore's latest documentary focuses on the iniquities of America's extortionate health-care system, and presents our own NHS, among other countries' equivalents, as a preferable alternative. The surprise is that 'Sicko' has almost none of the animated segments or the old-movie montages which are Moore's stock in trade, and the man and his baseball cap don't appear on screen for a full 45 minutes. 'Sicko' is still a lucid, wry polemic, and it's more at home on DVD than it was on the big screen, but it doesn't feel as lapel-grabbingly vital as Moore's other work.
