Another documentary made by controversial U.S. filmmaker Michael Moore, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France on Saturday receiving a warm welcome and waves of applause.

Becoming Moore's third success, "Sicko," which describes the U.S. health-care system, will have its major opening in late June.

"I know the storm awaits me back in the United States," Moore told journalists.

Raising questions like why 50 million Americans have no health care coverage, and why many who have health insurance still have trouble getting treatment, "Sicko" implies that U.S. health care system is driven by private industry greed.

Moore, a favorite for the Cannes Festival, said during a news conference that he hopes people and the U.S. government will the message.

"It is my profound hope that people will listen this time with this film because I don't want to wait ten or twenty years before we have universal health coverage in America and I don't want to wait before we as Americans take a look into our soul so that we can become better citizens in this world," the 53-year-old filmmaker, who won an Academy Award for "Bowling for Columbine" in 2002, said.

Recently, the filmmaker was reportedly being investigated by authorities for possibly breaking the U.S. trade and travel embargo on Cuba, because to make "Sicko," he traveled to Cuba with some rescue workers who became ill after cleaning up debris from the terror attacks in New York. The documentary shows the workers receiving a treatment they were unable to get in the states.

"I'm the one who's personally being investigated, and I'm the one who's personally liable for potential fines or jail, so I don't take it as lightly."

Following his lawyers' advice, Moore sent a copy of the documentary in an unknown country, in case the government would try to seize it.
