| On the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece Roger & Me, Michael
Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story comes home to the issue he's been examining
throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives
of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world). But this time the culprit is much
bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene far wider than Flint, Michigan. From
Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in
Manhattan, Michael Moore will once again take film goers into uncharted territory. With
both humor and outrage, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story explores a taboo
question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Years ago, that
love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream is looking more like a
nightmare as families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Moore
takes us into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; and
he goes looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the
all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal...and 14,000
jobs being lost every day. Capitalism: A Love Story is both a culmination of Moore's
previous works and a look into what a more hopeful future could look like. It is Michael
Moore's ultimate quest to answer the question he's posed throughout his
illustrious filmmaking career: Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do? |
