Synopsis

In the US, many people believe it's their constitutional right to own a gun. In this fascinating and often troubling documentary, filmmaker Michael Moore looks at the complex role of guns in America, focusing in particular on the tragic multiple shootings at Columbine High School in 1999. Bringing a fresh and exhilarating approach both to his dark subject matter and to how documentaries are made, Moore's film will stay with you long after the closing credits have rolled.
