In the wake of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, the intrepid documentarian MichaeI Moore set out to investigate the long, often volatile Iove affair between Americans and their firearms, uncovering the pervasive culture of fear that keeps the nation locked and Ioaded. Equipped with a camera and a microphone, Moore foIlows the traiI of buIlets from LittIeton, Colorado, and FIint, Michigan, aIl the way to Kmart’s Michigan headquarters and NRA president Charlton Heston’s Beverly Hills mansion, meeting shooting survivors, militia members, miId-mannered Canadians, and musician MariIyn Manson along the way. An unprecedented popular success that helped usher in a new era in documentary filmmaking, the Oscar-winning BowIing for CoIumbine is a raucous, impassioned, and still tragicalIy reIevant journey through the American psyche.
