Bowling for Columbine
Do 11,000 people die in America each year? Discussing heads yelling from every TV camera blame everything from Satan to video gaming. But are we that much different from a number of other countries? What sets us apart? Just how do we become both the master and victim of such enormous amounts of violence? This is not just a film about gun control. It is really actually a film about the fearful heart and soul of the USA, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right. Take a peek at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the house 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 yet another six-year-old, Bowling for Columbine is a journey through America, through yesteryear, expecting to discover our search for happiness is so riddled with violence.
