Watch Bowling for Columbine online free on WeStream

Why does gun violence result in 11,000 deaths annually in the United States? Talking heads blaming everything from Satan to video games are broadcast from every television camera. However, are we so dissimilar from other nations? How do we differ? How did we come to be both the perpetrators and victims of such massive amounts of violence? This film does not concern gun control. It is a film about the scared heart and spirit of the United States and the fortunate 280 million Americans who have the constitutional right to possess an Uzi. From a look at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the home of Oscar-winning NRA President Charlton Heston, from a young man who makes homemade napalm using The Anarchist's Cookbook to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old, Bowling for Columbine is a journey through America, through our past, in an attempt to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so violent.
