Yes, a bit. He's made a few films, most notably the amazing, excellent,
funny, depressing Roger & Me (go rent it now!) about the exodus of GM from
Flint, Michigan and its disaterous effects on the town. He's also done a
follow-up to it called Pets or Meat.
He's also responsible for the TV show (don't know if you get it in South
Africa, but it was awesome) called TV Nation, which was along the lines of
exposing corporate wrongdoings.
He also, unfortunately, did Canadian Bacon, which should have been good,
but wasn't.

He also tried to run a bonzai tree for political office in DC, which was
very funny.
The guy all around rules.
