Released in 1996, it was the first docu in which several more were to follow in the fifteen years after, gives a historical and what proves to be a prophetic account of the shortcomings of America's economic policies (2008 crash and subsequent recession).

Director: Michael Moore | Stars: Michael Moore, Johnny Fancelli, Christina Fancelli, Lorena Lardini

Votes: 25,693 | Gross: $3.82M

Not a Michael Moore fan, but this was an entertaining albeit patronizing and unreliable inquisition into the basic governing systems of other countries, especially European social systems. Informative with a few enlightening quotes from his subjects.

Votes: 273

More like the Economics of Localization (I'm all for localization ftr), but not the best docu in terms of subject matter, facts and qualified sources. Happiness is a subject that NEEDS to be discussed more as it is clearly lacking in this fast growing world at present. It is our responsibility to make our modern day system assist us in being happy which is more important than anything else in life. MUST WATCH.
