Bowling for Columbine

Michael Moore's 2002 examination of America's gun culture won the Academy Award for Documentary Feature and reignited a national conversation about the second amendment that continues to this day. Its ambush-interview style and darkly comic tone made it one of the highest-grossing documentaries ever made at the time of release, earning over $21 million worldwide. The film remains the definitive statement on how a culture of fear sustains an industry of violence.
