Doug Cameron, a Ford retiree who lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, decided to attend the second Traverse City Film Festival this year for one reason only: 

"I wanted to meet my hero," he said about the festival's guiding light and co-founder, filmmaker Michael Moore. Cameron says his admiration for Moore and his documentaries, from Roger and Me to Fahrenheit 9/11, stems from Moore "always standing up for the average guy."
