Where to Invade Next (2015)

Academy Award-winning director Michael Moore is back with his most audacious and comedic outing yet in "Where to Invade Next." In this thought-provoking documentary, Moore playfully takes the reins from the Pentagon, announcing he'll be handling America's "invasions" from here on out. He embarks on a globe-trotting journey to discover what other nations are doing better than the United States, from education and healthcare to worker protections and even drug policy, offering a stark and often humorous contrast to American societal norms. "Where to Invade Next" earns its place on a list of Michael Moore's best films by masterfully blending his signature provocative style with an accessible, even optimistic, approach. Unlike some of his more confrontational works, this film focuses on solutions and possibilities, highlighting successful social policies implemented elsewhere and implicitly suggesting their adoption could benefit America. Moore's ability to elicit both laughter and serious contemplation, while consistently challenging the status quo and forcing audiences to reconsider their own country's strengths and weaknesses, makes this a standout entry in his filmography.
