Can Michael Moore help with Free Software advocacy ?

I am watching Sicko and it’s such an “IN YOUR FACE” movie it makes me wish some day Michael Moore gets interested in free open source software and free tech and makes a similar film about it.
Seeing the kind of love RMS is getting, I have to wonder, how is Moore going to reflect on the community and admit it frightens me a little.
Oh, Moore is a drama queen, but he does get the point across and makes people talk- and think. Too bad we can’t call his movies anything near documentaries, but we can’t deny their impact in getting our attention on specific issues.
Yes, but the backlash… just makes me wonder how it would play out.
