Bowling for Columbine is an alternately humorous and horrifying documentary about the violent soul of the United States. Why do 11,000 people die in America each year by gun violence? The talking heads yelling from every TV blame everything from Satan to video games. But are we that much different from many other countries? How have we become the master and victim of such enormous amounts of violence? This is not a film about gun control, but about the fearful heart and soul of America.
