After Michael Moore was directly mentioned in Luigi Mangione's 'manifesto', as someone who can explain the shitshow that is the American healthcare system, Moore's response included posting his entire 2007 movie SICKO to YouTube, in its entirety, no ads.

Here's his full post about it: https://www.michaelmoore.com/p/a-manifesto-against-for-profit-health

    Finally got around to watching this. On the one hand, there wasn't that much factual information I didn't already know, but on the other hand there were some powerful anecdotes in there, and it seems like an extremely effective tool for radicalizing people against the American healthcare system. I'd actually seen the segment at the end where he takes the Americans to Cuba before, but it hit harder having watched the rest of the film and I actually cried a bit. You could see how overwhelming it was for these people to just be treated as human beings deserving of love, care, and respect rather than an expense in some insurance company's ledger.
