Bowling for Columbine
- Documentary
- Drama
This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi. From a look at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the home of Oscar-winning NRA President Charlton Heston, from a young man who makes homemade napalm with The Anarchist's Cookbook to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old. Bowling for Columbine is a journey through the US, through our past, hoping to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence.
Bowling for Columbine is Michael Moore's provocative 2002 documentary that examines gun violence and fear in American society through the lens of the Columbine High School shooting. The film explores the roots of violence in the US by visiting key locations and figures, from Columbine's security footage to NRA president Charlton Heston's home. It won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and remains a landmark work in political documentary filmmaking.
