Sunday, April 14, 2-4pm, Studio 35 Cinema & Draft House, 3055 Indianola Ave.

Michael Moore visits other countries to learn about innovative reforms related to work, health care, education, food, and prisons. He discovers that the reforms were started in America but were rejected, only to be adopted abroad.

“One of Moore’s best films. A surprisingly endearing set of suggestions for a better tomorrow.” Eric Kohn, Indiewire

The filmmaker visits various countries to examine how Europeans view work, education, health care, sex, equality, and other issues. From cafeteria food to sex ed, Moore looks at the benefits of schooling in France, Finland, and Slovenia. In Italy, he marvels at how workers enjoy reasonable hours and generous vacation time. In Portugal, Moore notes the effects of the decriminalization of drugs. Can we have these policies in the USA?

That’s the question that we will explore together and discuss how we are making changes to improve our communities. We’ll have a panel and question-and-answer period to look at local reform efforts in health care and our food systems.
