Michael & Me is an independent, self-financed 2005 DVD documentary created by Los Angeles-based radio and television talk show host Larry Elder. His documentary attempts to disprove statements made by filmmaker Michael Moore in his 2002 documentary film Bowling for Columbine. about the relationship between American culture, gun ownership and increased violence. The documentary mirrors Moore's landmark 1989 documentary, Roger & Me, in tone and interview style.

Documentary content

In Michael & Me, Larry Elder interviews people who have used guns to prevent becoming a victim of crime to provide evidence that an armed society is a safer society. For example, Elder interviews a woman identified as "Jane Doe," a real estate agent who was raped by a client and he states that would not have happened if she was armed.

To finance the documentary's estimated $350,000 budget, Larry Elder states that he took out an equity loan on his home (Hannity & Colmes, Fox News Channel, August 26, 2005.)
