Michael Moore makes new film at AIG HQ in New York
Documentarian Michael Moore, apparently shooting a new film in New York on Saturday, came to the offices of American International Group Inc, demanding that the embattled insurer give up the billions of dollars in bailout loans it has received and put it in an armored truck to take down to the U.S. Treasury in Washington D.C.
In the video he holds up what seems to be a cloth bag with a large black dollar sign on one side, surrounded by what appear to be his videographers and a small crowd behind him.
“Just drop it from the window. Go ahead, I can get it,†he shouts, wearing his familiar baseball cap while looking up at the multi story building on Water St. in Manhattan. The video was posted to the YouTube website.
He tries to push his way into the building through a pair of revolving doors, but is unsuccessful as they are being held by security guards.
Moore, as a director, is also heard telling videographers to capture the right angles.
“Go ahead, just drop it. I’ll catch it. $170 billion dollars, I got extra bags,†he bellows.
He then peers into the lobby through glass walls. Behind him is a backed up armored car.
“Load the money up. $170 billion and I'm going to drive it to the Treasury in Washington D.C.I'm going to return the money to the U.S. Treasury,†he says as the video ends.
