Bernard Maris, alias Oncle Bernard, fut assassiné lors de l'attentat contre Charlie Hebdo, le 7 janvier 2015. Ce film, qui lui rend hommage, est uniquement constitué des rushes bruts d'une entrevue tournée avec ce dernier, le 8 mars 2000, dans le contexte du film L’Encerclement – La démocratie dans les rets du néolibéralisme. Le réalisateur laisse toute la place à la parole de Bernard Maris en n'intervenant que minimalement sur le matériau original, dévoilant ainsi les coulisses du tournage.

Kopple initially intended to make a film about Kenzie, Miners for Democracy and the attempt to unseat Tony Boyle. When miners at the Brookside Mine in Harlan County, Kentucky went on strike in June 1972, Kopple went there to film the strike against Duke Power Company which the UMWA had helped to organize. The strike proved a more interesting subject, so Kopple switched the focus of her film.

Michael Moore begins by introducing himself and his family through 8 mm archival home movies; he describes himself as the Irish American Catholic middle-class son of a General Motors employee assembling AC spark plugs. Moore chronicles how GM had previously defined his childhood in Flint, Michigan, and how the company was the primary economic and social hub of the town. He points out that Flint is the place where the Flint Sit-Down Strike occurred, resulting in the birth of the United Auto Workers. He reveals that his heroes were the Flint natives who had escaped the oppressive life in GM's factories, including "Flint's most famous native son," game show host Bob Eubanks.

« Dix ans après les premières émeutes, les médias européens prétendent que la cure d’austérité en Grèce a réussi et que le calme est revenu. Ce film prouve le contraire. À Thessalonique, des jeunes empêchent les ventes aux enchères de maisons saisies. En Crète, des paysans s’opposent à la construction d’un nouvel aéroport. À Athènes, un groupe mystérieux inquiète le pouvoir en multipliant les sabotages. Dans le quartier d’Exarcheia, menacé d’évacuation, le cœur de la résistance accueille les réfugiés dans l’autogestion. Un voyage en musique parmi celles et ceux qui rêvent d’amour et de révolution.

Ce film a pour titre un slogan qui a fait le tour de la Grèce en crise depuis 2010 et qui commence à voyager au-delà : « Ne vivons plus comme des esclaves », qui se prononce « Na min zisoumé san douli » en grec. Un slogan qu'on peut lire en Grèce sur les murs des villes et sur les rochers des campagnes, sur les panneaux publicitaires vides ou détournés, dans les journaux alternatifs et qu'on peut entendre sur certaines stations de radio et dans les lieux d’autogestion qui se multiplient. Un slogan diffusé jour après jour, et que les intervenants grecs du film invitent les spectateurs à reprendre en chœur, sur les mélodies du film réalisé en coopération avec eux.
