The United States of America is notorious for its astronomical number of people killed by firearms for a developed nation without a civil war. With his signature sense of angry humor, activist filmmaker Michael Moore sets out to explore the roots of this bloodshed. In doing so, he learns that the conventional answers of easy availability of guns, violent national history, violent entertainment and even poverty are inadequate to explain this violence when other cultures share those same factors without the equivalent carnage. In order to arrive at a possible explanation, Michael Moore takes on a deeper examination of America's culture of fear, bigotry and violence in a nation with widespread gun ownership. Furthermore, he seeks to investigate and confront the powerful elite political and corporate interests fanning this culture for their own unscrupulous gain.

Face The Facts
One of the greatest short docu-feature of recent times. Talks about the reciprocal effect of "fear" as a cause of gross violence. Determines compassion and tolerance, even today, as a prime tool to build the back-bone of society. Finally, underlines the fact that mindless capitalism gives birth to hell on earth. Watch it and learn .... we deserve a lot better. Wonderful facts and outstanding direction.
