Bowling For Columbine: Michael Moore - Thorn in the side of corporate America scourge of the political hypocrisy and all-round ass-kicker of those that need a boot in the behind... With his trademark charm and biting wit Michael Moore's documentary sets off on a rollicking journey to the heart of America hoping to discover why the American pursuit of happiness is so riddled with massive amounts of violence and asks ""Are we a nation of gun nuts.... or are we just nuts?"" Fahrenheit 9/11: Already the highest grossing documentary of all time in America (also breaking... records in Europe and the UK) and winner of the prestigious Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004 Fahrenheit 9/11 is the powerful new film from Oscar-winning director Michael Moore. Following the huge critical and commercial success of Bowling For Columbine Moore uses his characteristically deft humour and uniquely persistent style to launch an unflinching inquiry into the Bush administration's foreign policy. Fahrenheit 9/11 is by turns determinedly truthful scathingly funny intensely thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining. Combining rare footage expert testimony and his one-of-a-kind dogged hunt for answers to tough questions the film takes on the burning issues facing America today. Michael Moore turns a sceptical lens on President George W. Bush and his inner circle who ignored the Saudi connection to 9/11 and instead rushed headlong into war against Iraq... Sicko: Sicko is the new documentary film by director Michael Moore. It investigates the United States health care system with a focus on for-profit health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry. The film compares the U.S. health care system with that of Canada's single-payer system and other universal health care systems including those in France the United Kingdom and Cuba. The film has been criticized for not discussing the drawbacks of universal health care in these countries. [show more]

Political activist/antagonist Michael Moore's trio of films critically examining aspects of American life. In 'Bowling For Columbine' (2002), takes a 'bemused and bitter' look at the gun laws in the US. The title springs from two fatal shootings in the town of Columbine: the first and most notorious being the mass shooting of pupils at Columbine High by two of its pupils in 1999; and the second being another fatal shooting two years later at the bowling alley of the town (which the two students had attended before they went on their killing spree in 1999). Hence the title. Moore confronts supermarket chains, the media and even pro-gun lobbyist and actor Charlton Heston (as President of the National Rifle Association). In 'Fahrenheit 9/11' (2004), Moore focuses on the administration of George W. Bush and his 'War on Terrorism' agenda. The film explores the government's handling of the terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001, explores the dubious relationship between both Bush administrations and the bin Laden family, questions the possible role of Saudi Arabia in the attacks, and looks at the fallout of the tragedy and subsequent events from a personal angle through the testimony of Lila Lipscomb, a Michigan woman whose son was killed in Iraq. Finally, In 'Sicko' (2007), Moore examines the US health care system. Moore attempts to highlight the contradictions in a system that, despite costing more per person than any other in the world, ranks last among developed countries. As well as taking a swipe at the wholly for-profit health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, Moore compares and contrasts health provision around the globe, including Canada, Britain and France.
