Summary
The big one: Michael Moore armed only with a camera and a sharp sense of humor attempts to find an answer to one tough question: If Fortune 500 companies are posting record-setting profits, why do they continue laying off thousands of workers?
 
Bowling for Columbine: Acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore takes aim at America's love affair with guns and violence in this Oscar-winning film that "demands attention"! Mixing riveting footage, hilarious animation and candid interviews with everyone from the NRS's Charleton Heston to shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, Bowling for Columbine is a "brilliant" tour de force of filmmaking.
 
Fahrenheit 9/11: Michael Moore illustrates the connections President Bush has to the royal house of Saud of Saudia Arabia and the bin Laden's, how the president got elected on fraudulent circumstances and then proceeded to blunder through his duties while ignoring warnings of the looming betrayal by his foreign partners. When the treachery hits with the 9/11 attacks, Moore explains how Bush failed to take immediate action to defend the nation.
 
Sicko: Michael Moore interviews Americans who have been denied treatment by U.S. health care insurance companies, companies who sacrifice essential health services in order to maximize profits. Sheds light on how complicated it can become for communities and individuals, and the sacrifices they have made when they are denied health care coverage.
 
Capitalism, a love story: Moore 'skewers both major political parties' for selling out the millions of people devastated by loss of homes and jobs to the interests of fat cat capitalists. Moore has 'dug up some astonishing dirt', stories told in the faces of the foreclosed and evicted, in the food stamps received by hungry airline pilots, and in the courage of fired factory workers who refuse to go quietly. But more than a cry of despair, Moore's film raises the possibility of hope.
