In the age of Donald Trump and the "alt-right," and with mass shootings now a regular occurrence in the U.S., there's no better time to revisit Michael Moore's Academy Award®-Winning documentary, Bowling For Columbine.
In 2002, Michael Moore began his exploration of the roots of America's love affair with guns. The result was a masterpiece that stripped bare the racial unrest and culture of fear that is now as central to American society as ever.
After the Movie: On the 15th anniversary of the documentary, and on the exact day of the Columbine massacre 18 years ago, a conversation with director Michael Moore and D.A. Pennebaker on the timeliness of the film today.

Almost 30 years ago, Michael Moore sounded the alarm on the dismantling of America's middle class in Roger & Me. He took on the gun lobby and America's culture of fear in the Oscar®-winning Bowling For Columbine. He led the charge against the Bush administration with Fahrenheit 9/11. He turned the nation's attention to our broken healthcare system with SiCKO. He exposed the horrors of our economic system in Capitalism: A Love Story. In 2016, his Where To Invade Next proposed remedies for how to heal America. On November 8th, the world came to grips with what Moore had been warning for months: President Donald J. Trump.
