The first documentary accepted into competition at Cannes since 1956, the film won a special 55th Anniversary Prize at the 2002 festival.
With his trademark charm and biting wit, Moore (director of Roger and Me and author of Stupid White Men) sets off on a rollicking journey to the heart of the country hoping to discover why the American pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence. From a look at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the home of Oscar�-winning NRA President Charlton Heston, from a young man who makes homemade napalm with The Anarchist�s Cookbook to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old, Bowling for Columbine is a powerful piece of filmmaking that will resonate with audiences dreading � but expecting � the next breaking news report about a homegrown assassin with a constitutionally-protected Uzi. |
