Bowling for Columbine (2002)

Michael Moore Director previously directed The Big One

Liberal pundit Michael Moore tackles the touchy issue of gun control in this provocative and unflinching documentary released hot off the heals of the Columbine High School tragedy.

Quote: Michael Moore

It was the morning of April 20th 1999, and it was pretty much like any other morning in America. The Farmer did his chores. The milkman made his deliveries. The President bombed another country whose name we couldn't pronounce. Out in Fargo, North Dakota, Cary McWilliams went on his morning walk. Back in Michigan, Mrs Hughes welcomed her students for another day of school. And out in a little town in Colorado, two boys went bowling at 6 in the morning. Yes, it was a typical day in the United States of America.
