Michael Moore was forced to reclaim the microphone after a Parkland shooting survivor made confused claims onstage at the Toronto International Film Festival.
David Hogg, who just turned 18 in April, has had a crash course in politics, lobby money, the intricacies of the inner-workings of the NRA, and how to begin a powerful movement for gun-control since surviving the Marjory Stoneman Douglas massacre in February.
On stage Friday, the renowned documentarian had to correct Hogg as he misspoke on Canadians being able to donate to American elections.
After the screening of Moore's anti-Trump 'Fahrenheit 11/9' Hogg took the mic and gave a short speech but shortly after the director was forced to take back the mic.
'I have a question for you guys,' Hogg said. 'Who's ready to save America?'
David Hogg, 18, who has had a crash course in the restraints of American politics since the shooting at his school on February 14, mistakenly said Canadians can donate to political US campaigns (they can not, as a foreign entity donate to American campaigns)
Moore pictured with Parkland students towards the middle, and women dressed like handmaidens from the show Handmaids Tale- similarly dressed protesters disrupted Senate confirmation hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh to Supreme Court last week
The audience cheered.
'Who's ready to make America the country we say it is on paper, and make it the actual country that it wants to be?' he led on.
Hogg said it was unfair that minorities that had served their time, couldn't vote because of their prior convictions.
'Um,' he continued, turning to Moore, 'I think Canadians can donate to political campaigns in the United States.'
Moore shook his head in disagreement.
'They can't?' Hogg asked.
'So uh, no, they can't give us money,' Moore told Hogg.
'Well, uh, vote here,' he said, causing the audience to laugh as he covered-up for his still very much budding knowledge base on the complexities of American politics.
'Learn from us,' Hogg lectured. 'Don't let this happen here because we need to come to you guys if we stay on this track.'
Hogg also addressed the IRS, saying 'if you're watching on Facebook, why aren't you auditing the President of the United States who likely got $30 million from Russia via the NRA?'
Fahrenheit 11/9 is a reference to the date President Trump was elected.
It will feature images of Michael using contaminated water from Flint, Michigan to hose down the state governor's driveway and will also have appearances from Roger Stone, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Emma Gonzalez and more.
It will also feature an old interview from 1998 in which Roseanne Barr interviews Trump and Moore.
In the old interview, Trump cracks that he hopes he is never the target of a Moore film production.
Set to air September 21 in theaters have seen rave reviews in screenings thru far
The project is being released to theaters later this month.
Moore's documentary will focus on Trump's election victory and the aftermath of that.
It will juxtapose footage from neo-Nazi events with clips from Trump rallies, among other things.
When he was asked why he wanted to take on this project, Moore explained to the Huffington Post in August: 'Donald Trump is an evil genius.
'He has no intention of leaving the White House. Whenever he hears that another country has a president for life, he perks up and thinks, ''I like the sound of that!'' And he has an obedient political party that holds every seat of power backing him up.'
The filmmaker added: ‘American journalism schools have not trained students how to cover an authoritarian leader. Our media has no idea what it is up against. They’re getting steamrolled by a tyrant because Trump understands media and understands the country he lives in more than those that cover him do.
‘That puts us all in grave danger. If nothing else, I hope this film exposes that grave danger and shows people the way out.’
Michael told HuffPost he hopes Fahrenheit 11/9 will be as successful as Fahrenheit 9/11, which took aim at President George W. Bush.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
