Fahrenheit 11/9

Fahrenheit 11/9 provides a comical yet horrifying look at the 2016 US presidential election. Directed by Michael Moore, it serves as a loose sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11 and offers a critical examination of the Trump presidency. The film follows the immediate aftermath of Hillary Clinton’s unexpected loss in the election. By exploring life under the Trump administration, the documentary provides an eye-opening account of what occurred during the campaign and raises questions about what the world may look like after a Trump presidency.

Moore compares the Trump administration to the rise of Hitler in Germany. He does this by drawing parallels between the hate speech heard at Trump rallies and Hitler’s propaganda during his rise to power in Nazi Germany. Moore goes a step further by highlighting similarities between the income inequality that preceded the rise of fascism and the economic, social, and political climate of today.
