IMDb
8.0

This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi. 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 is a journey through the US, through our past, hoping to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence.

Interesting documentary, more interesting than the anti gun bias, are the reactions of those wrongfully blamed by the media.
Connor
Connor
Very sensational coverage of a super important topic, polarizing and insane

Powerful message, especially after 20 years when nothing has changed and actually things have gotten worse

Say what you want about Moore or his other films, this one’s really something. I was engaged and emotionally crushed throughout the film.

Took way too long to finally see this, but wow. Still 100 percent relevant today. If not more so.

Important documentary on a divisive issue. Moore takes the one sided view you'd expect but I gotta say I agree with him.
Connor

One of the most influential documentaries of all time. As important as it is divisive.
