“Protecting the Earth from the scum of corporate America.”

Documentary

The Big One is an investigative documentary from director Michael Moore who goes around the country asking why big American corporations produce their product abroad where labor is cheaper while so many Americans are unemployed, losing their jobs, and would happily be hired by such companies as Nike.

VIBE

This film feels like a fiery call to arms, a no-holds-barred investigation into corporate hypocrisy. It's a passionate, often angry, look at the human cost of globalization, delivered with Moore's signature confrontational style.
