Bowling for Columbine
Do 11,000 people die in America each year as a result of gun violence? Discussing heads yelling from every TV camera blame everything from Satan to video games. But are we that much different from many different countries? What sets us apart? How do we become both the master and victim of such enormous amounts of violence? This isn't a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the USA, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi. 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 another six-year-old, Bowling for Columbine is a journey through America, through our past, expecting to discover our quest for happiness is so riddled with violence.
