Filmmaker Michael Moore sprayed water from a hose connected to a truck labeled “Flint water” at the Michigan Capitol in Lansing on Friday.
According to the Detroit News, he was surrounded by a film crew, who declined to discuss details of the new project.
Moore is from Flint, and has been critical of how Gov. Rick Snyder has handled the city’s water contamination crisis.
“Gov. Snyder, drink the water,” Moore reportedly said, holding a class and facing the historic building.
Synder — who is out of the country currently — recently ended free bottled water service in Flint. He said there has been testing data showing tap water lead levels below the federal action limit.
He also said two years ago that he would drink filtered Flint water for a month to show it was safe.
Asked by a Detroit News reporter what he was filming for, Moore said only that he “didn’t have anything else to do today.”

The crisis began in 2014 when the source for drinking water in the city was changed to the Flint River.
Anywhere from 6,000 to 12,000 children were exposed to lead, and 15 people died.
