Capitalism: A Love Story

2009 · 128 min

A wry, angry tour through economic collapse that mixes archival clips, stunts and interviews into a persuasive, sometimes wrenching argument.

Tagline: Ask not what your CEO can do for you, but what you can do for your CEO
Overview: Michael Moore 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).
