Activist filmmaker Michael Moore sets out to explore the issue of violence in the United States. From the school shootings at Columbine High School to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old, this program journeys through America hoping to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence and why the number of people killed by firearms in a developed nation is so alarmingly high.

Some violent images and language. Bilingual features available on DVD format only. Version française sur le DVD: Bowling Columbine.
