Where to Invade Next
Just when we need him most, America’s favorite political provocateur, Michael Moore, brings us his latest award-winning film. Honored by festivals and critics groups alike, “Where to Invade Next” is an expansive, hilarious, and subversive comedy/documentary in which the Academy Award-winning director confronts the most pressing issues facing America today and finds solutions in the most unlikely places. The creator of “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Bowling for Columbine” has returned with an epic movie that’s unlike anything he has done before — an eye-opening call to arms to re-capture the American Dream and restore it to, of all places, America. To show what the USA can learn from the rest of the world, Moore playfully visits various nations in Europe and Africa as a one-man “invader” to take their ideas and practices for America. Whether it is Italy with its generous vacation time allotments, France with its gourmet school lunches, German with its industrial policy, Norway and its prison system, Tunisia and its strongly progressive women’s policy and Iceland and its strong female presence in government and business among others, Moore discovers there is much that American should emulate.
