The acclaimed and controversial film director lost his cool and pointed out bluntly how it was the 6th consecutive time the MPAA had classified his films with an R rating.
In a tirade of tweets Michael Moore
The MPAA just denied my appeal to overturn their R rating for WHERE TO INVADE NEXT. What are they afraid of? Sex, Drugs, Truth. My 6th R doc

He then went even further to remind them of the shootings that took place “down the road” from the MPAA in San Bernardino where 35 people were shot. The director also pledged not to give up, and will make a "real appeal" on Monday.
When they gave Bowling for Columbine an R, they didn't want "teens to see images of school shootings." 13 yrs later, that's worked out well.

“Where to Invade Next” attempts to illustrate how the US can learn from other nations by “invading” them to see what they can offer. The documentary will be released on 23rd December with a limited theatrical run.
