Why do 11,000 Americans die each year because of shootings? With its motivation founded in the massacre at Columbine High School, Michael Moore seeks to discover the roots and causes of this bloodshed. Alternately humorous and horrifying, he looks at the culture of the gun and asks why America is so different from other countries.
Filmed with Moore’s satirical and campaigning approach, the film was the first documentary to be accepted for competition at Cannes for 46 years and won an Oscar.
