Bowling for Columbine
Why do 11,000 people die in America each year? Talking heads yelling from every TV camera blame everything from Satan to video games. But are we that much different from a number of different nations? What sets us apart? How do we become both the master and victim of such enormous amounts of violence? This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and spirit of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to possess the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi. Take a peek 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 really a travel through America, through our past, expecting to discover our search for happiness is so riddled with violence.
