    Synopsis:

    The film is a journey through America, and through its past, hoping to discover why its pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence. From a look 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” examines the whole of USA.

    Review:

    “Both hilarious and sorrowful.”Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    “Terrific… A rambunctious, disturbing, and often hilarious autopsy of American gun culture. Columbine has loads of entertainment value.”Richard Corliss, Time

    “Screamingly funny one moment and unexpectedly moving the next.”New York Post

    “It may be one of the most effective political/polemic films ever.”Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
