Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of filmmaker Michael Moore's directorial debut,
Roger & Me. The 1989 documentary examines the economic impact of General Motors' practices in Flint, Michigan, and arrives on Blu-ray on October 7th.
Synopsis: Michael Moore burst upon the American moviemaking scene with
Roger & Me, a forerunner of the independent film movement that was inducted to the 2013 National Film Registry by the Library of Congress and the National Film Preservation Board. In the documentary, Moore doggedly tries to do what every working stiff dreams of: talk to the man at the top. His efforts to meet General Motors Chairman Roger Smith and persuade him to visit Flint, Michigan, frame a film that uses humor to overwhelming effect. While slyly lampooning corporate America,
Roger & Me exposes the devastating first stirrings of the economic tsunami that swallowed Flint, Detroit and all of southeastern Michigan.
Warner has yet to detail tech specs or special features.
