Michael Moore Has Got Divorced, But He Hasn't Stopped Making Films

American filmmaker Michael Moore, famous for social commentary documentaries including Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 and his wife, producer Kathleen Glynn, have divorced. The couple had been married for 22 years but Michael filed a divorce complaint in June 2013 and it seems the pair have been finalising the details of their separation ever since.

A statement on 60-year-old Moore’s website confirmed: "Kathleen and Michael have mutually and amicably reached a divorce settlement".

A prominent filmmaker since his 1989 Emmy-award winning documentary, Roger & Me, Moore rose to international prominence as a result of Fahrenheit 9/11 - the highest-grossing documentary of all time and the winner of the Palme d’Or: the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival.

Released just three years after the horrific events of 9/11, Moore used the medium of film to ask uncomfortable questions of George Bush and his administration following the catastrophe in September 2001.

But where did he go after that? Surely not in hiding trying to deal with a complicated marriage for all this time? Evidently not.

Moore has been just as active on the documentary, book and website front as he always was but just not with as explosive a subject matter as that of the work he will always be best known for, Fahrenheit 9/11.

In 2007, he released SiCKO, a documentary dealing with healthcare in the US and the effects the current system has people and their quest for basic healthcare. It has subsequently become the fourth highest-grossing documentary of all time.

He returned to his documentary-making roots two years later, on the 20th anniversary of his first feature piece, Roger & Me, with Capitalism: A Love Story which highlights the issue that has dominated his illustrious career: corporate dominance and its effects on every day Americans.

Taking a break from filming, in 2011 Moore released an autobiography, Here Comes Trouble, in a somewhat original concept, presenting 24 individual and irreverent snippets from his early life.

In addition he has a working website with an ‘Ask Mike’ page and regular articles and features published.

So not sitting at home contemplating his personal life entirely then.
