Dir: Michael Moore (15, 119 mins)
After the polemics of Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko and Capitalism: A Love Story, controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore sets his sights on US foreign policy. The film however is more of an exercise in sociology as Moore visits other countries around the globe to see what they are doing right and what America is doing wrong. In Germany, the Holocaust is widely recognised, monuments built in plain sight, whereas America does not spend so much energy reminding its citizens of the Native American genocide and slave labour on which it was built. Women are at the forefront of Icelandic political life, whereas Hilary Clinton is an anomaly in the USA. Moore makes a series of compare and contrast points with sobering relevance ranging from drug laws to school meals, it’s a scattershot approach but informative, challenging and entertaining and proves America has a lot to learn from the world despite trying to impose its own will upon it.
