"Yet there was Moore, receiving fans and well-wishers with exhausted good humour at the postpremiere party for Fahrenheit 11/9, his latest documentary index of America-in-crisis (a party peopled by industry types and, peculiarly for a glitzy film fest bash, David Hogg and other survivors of the 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida). It was a sight so singular that my shin-digging companion, Will Sloan (co-host of what is arguably Canada’s top Michael Moore-themed podcast), snapped a photo. “He’s just occupied such a big part of my brain for so long,” Will tells me, half-amused, half-genuinely starstruck. Such encounters are, I think, what TIFF is about."
