Doing my part, I just posted this message to my company’s internal classifieds, urging as best I could that people see Bowling for Columbine.

Subject: perhaps the most important documentary of our time
Friday night I saw a preview benefit screening of Bowling for Columbine (www.bowlingforcolumbine.com), the new film by Michael Moore (www.michaelmoore.com), who also wrote Stupid White Men. The film will be released this Friday, 10/18. PLEASE SEE IT.
The film started out about gun control in response to the Columbine shootings in 1999. It turned into so much more. From exploring the American culture of fear created and fueled by the media and politicians to examining the interconnected chain of responsibility, this film will anger you. It will make you cry. It will make you laugh. It will inspire you to take action. But most of all, it will make you think.
This is a film that everyone should see. Please see it and spread the word. The better it does at the box office, the wider distribution it will get. The more people who see this film, the more hope we will have for our collective future.
