(2003-03-27) — Academy-award winning filmmaker Michael Moore said his next documentary will chronicle how Iraq’s lax gun-control laws have turned a peaceful Islamic republic into a cauldron of death and destruction.
The film, “Saddam and Me,” will capture Mr. Moore’s misadventures and witty banter as he attempts to ask the Iraqi president to ban personal ownership of firearms.
“Every nation that allows individuals to own guns will eventually wind up like Iraq,” said Mr. Moore. “The gun culture encourages violence. Most Iraqis own personal firearms, and look what’s happening over there. Children are dying. It’s just like Columbine.”
