Life Under Mike is a political documentary film directed and produced by Canadian filmmaker James Motluk. It was released to theaters in September 2000 to generally positive reviews.[1] The movie takes a critical look at the government of then Ontario Premier Mike Harris. It was partially funded by American filmmaker Michael Moore after Motluk met Moore at the Toronto International Film Festival.[2] Music was provided for the movie soundtrack by rock stars Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. In 2001, it received a Media Human Rights Award from the League for Human Rights of Canada.[3]
The movie touches on themes such as the need for government to play a role in the economy, the need for a strong sense of community, and support for strong trade unions.[4]
It features interviews with economist John Kenneth Galbraith and then Toronto councillor Jack Layton, who later served as leader of the New Democratic Party from 2003 to 2011.[5]
