Summary

The filmmakers behind one of the most-watched and talked-about documentaries of the year, Planet of the Humans, are fighting back after the film was removed from YouTube after a coordinated censorship campaign. The film had posted over 8.3 million views on Michael Moore’s Rumble Media YouTube channel in just over four weeks since its premiere on April 21, the eve of the 50th Earth Day.

Director Jeff Gibbs and Producer Ozzie Zehner join Michael to discuss the surprising success and outrageous campaign to shut the movie down and prevent more of the public from seeing it.
