Review by Library Journal Review

Moore's Bowling for Columbine (2002) seeks to discuss America's obsession with guns. The controversial documentarian looks at the 1999 Columbine shooting and the two teenage killers who went bowling on the morning of their massacre at the Colorado high school. Moore (Roger & Me; Capitalism: A Love Story) invokes a conversation through interview techniques that drive at a deeper investigation of political policy and corporate interests that fan the flames of gun ownership in America. Verdict A thought-provoking contribution to the debate over guns and gun ownership. The addition of levity to the confusion makes a touchy subject approachable. [See Trailers, LJ 5/1/18.]-Terrence J.
