Michael Moore's latest documentary sets its sights on the sickness of America's dependence on gun culture. Looking at the likely causes behind school massacres at Colombine and Littleton, Moore asks questions about a US government that is continually aggressive, exposes the fear that feeds the funds of the National Rifle Association (talking with real feeling to its President Charlton Heston), reveals the frightening discrepancies of statistics relating to gun-related deaths throughout the world and targets K-Mart's selling of bullets that were directly involved in one of the massacres.

It's a rousing and moving documentary that drew instant applause from an audience of 500-strong at the one showing the film had at the Deauville Film Festival in Normandy in September.
