Michael Moore wants to screen his latest documentary for Bernie Madoff in prison.

The New York Daily News reports that Moore said he wants to show ‘Capitalism: A Love Story’ at the Butner (N.C.) Federal Correctional Complex where the Ponzi scheme ringleader is currently incarcerated.

“We’re just trying to see if we can set that up in the prison he’s in,” the director told the Daily News at the film’s Lincoln Center premiere. “If we can’t, we’ve discussed doing an outdoor screening in the field, so at least he can watch through the bars of the window.”

Moore says it’s important to him that the film, which centers on the global economic meltdown, be seen by Madoff.

“Bernie is representative of the scheme of capitalism itself. [Capitalism] is a pyramid where the richest 1% have as much financial wealth as the combined 95%. It’s a pyramid only a few people can be at the top of, and everyone else is made to believe that they can get to the top,” he explains. “It’s a bit of a ruse, and a ruse that’s not unsimilar to Mr. Madoff’s.”

A rep for the Federal Bureau of Prisons has said that no official request has been made for a Butner screening  as of yet.

Madoff was sentenced to 150 years for perpetrating what may be the largest investment fraud in Wall Street history.
