Briefly enrolled in a Roman Catholic seminary when he was 14.
At 18, became one of the youngest publicly elected officials in U.S. history when he won a seat on the Flint, MI, school board.
In 1976, founded both a crisis-intervention center and an alternative newspaper,
The Flint Voice
, which later became
The Michigan Voice
.
Started his own production company, Dog Eat Dog Films, in 1986; three years later, made his feature-film debut with the acclaimed documentary

Returned to the public eye in 2002 with
Bowling for Columbine
, an examination of gun-control laws in the wake of the 1999 Columbine High School shootings.
Courted controversy with 2004's
Fahrenheit 9/11
, which criticized the Bush administration's policies following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks; it became the highest-grossing documentary ever, taking in nearly $120 million in the U.S. alone.
