Michael Moore takes America to task for our own good
10 February 2016
I'm not going to hide the fact that I'm extremely biased when it comes to Michael Moore. I love all his documentaries, and his liberal views closely align with mine, so I just want to say Where To Invade Next is amazing, emotionally moving, and Moore's most positively infectious film. For the doc, he covers a wide range of issues that is plaguing the US, including paid time off for work (or lack thereof), school lunches, women's rights, abortion, not being able to acknowledge our dark history by sugarcoating things in classes, college debt and rising tuition, the education system as a whole, the prison system, the incarceration of black men, the death penalty, the war on drugs, among others I'm sure I missed. And if it seems that Moore is taking a dump on America, he isn't. Despite taking the US to task, Moore believes we have the power to change things if we care enough to (like the countries he visits in the film), and that's the positive takeaway of Where to Invade Next. Overall, I think it's an important documentary, and if any of these issues relate to you (which of course they do), I urge you to go seek it out.
