Of course it wasn't a factual documentary. Many experts debunked the so-called facts in these documentaries. People should be careful about believing whatever they see in documentaries. However, I haven't heard too much about Sicko being debunked like we did with both F 9/11 and Columbine.

However... I must say that his recent documentary, Sicko is a change for the better. Unlikely Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, it focuses on how countries run their healthcare and the problems surrounding them. Though it does leave out some of the facts about Canada, UK and France.

I have noticed that Michael Moore is particularly sensitive to criticisms of the USA by people who are not Americans. He showed this in his recent documentary where a French doctor, I think he was French... he kept on badmouthing the USA. Moore had to leave because he was getting angry with the doctor.

Still, it's better than his last few documentaries, which were wildly inaccurate in many places. It's nowhere perfect, but should be enough to give people the basic idea of how they run healthcare systems in some countries.
