Controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore goes behind the camera again to take on the timely issue of gun violence in America.  Moore uses his thought-provoking yet scathingly funny style to address why so many Americans own guns and more importantly why so many people use them on each other.  As the title indicates, the film uses the Columbine High School shootings as a launching pad and then goes on to explore where gun ownership and gun violence affects every state in the country.

 

PROMOTION IDEA:

 

This film lends itself to a panel discussion on both gun ownership and gun violence as well as the affect the Columbine High School shootings had on the rest of the country.
