Documentary
In the aftermath of the 1999 massacre at Columbine High
and of September 11th, investigative journalist Michael
Moore asks why the USA is so prone to violent killings.
Travelling through the nation, Moore leads us through his
provocative arguments in a scary yet entertaining and frequently
hilarious way. Moore is the irrepressible scourge of 'Stupid
White Americans' (the title of his publication, the most
widely-read non-fiction book in the US), and of corporate
power (in his TV series, 'TV Nation'.) He argues that it's
all down to the American Ethic, and presents his film as
a warning to the UK not to go down this route.
