As the corporate system takes us toward yet another economic crisis, where the poor pay while the rich are bailed out, Moore uses both humour and outrage to ask 'What is the price we pay for capitalism?'
From a hilarious history lesson through to today's struggles of working people to keep hold of our homes and jobs, the film helps us step back and ask whether a world where people and planet are slaves to profit has any future and what alternatives could be created?
On making the film, Moore said: 'It's the perfect date movie. It's got it all: Lust, passion, romance, and 14,000 jobs being eliminated evey day. It's a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let's just say it: It's capitalism.'
