Short description

Fahrenheit 11/9 is a documentary by Michael Moore that examines the 2016 United States presidential election and the political climate surrounding Donald Trump's rise to the presidency. The title refers to November 9, 2016, the day Trump was declared president-elect, and echoes Moore's earlier film Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore appears on camera and also interviews or features figures including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, David Hogg and Steve Bannon, while archival footage of Trump is used. The film looks at the circumstances that led to the election result and at the wider political landscape, taking aim not only at Trump and the Republicans but also at the Democrats.

The film is 128 minutes long and was released in September 2018, before that year's midterm elections. It sits between Capitalism: A Love Story and this point in Moore's directing career, which began with Roger & Me and includes Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 and Sicko. Moore wrote and produced it with Meghan O'Hara and Carl Deal, through Dog Eat Dog Films, Midwestern Films and State Run Films, and it grossed about 7 million dollars worldwide.

On IMDb it holds a 7.2 rating from roughly 21,000 votes, and on TMDB a 7.1 from around 491 votes. A critics' rating of 7 out of 10 from 184 reviews places it close to the audience scores. The credited cast runs to 61 people.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's title reflects the date of November 9th, when Donald Trump was declared the winner of the presidential election held the day before. It also references Michael Moore's previous documentary about the September 11th terrorist attack. Both film titles allude to Ray Bradbury's (1920-2012) novel “Fahrenheit 451” (1953).
