A comedy film that pokes fun at U.S. culture and society, in a "Candid Camera" sort of way, by having an actor pretend to be a strange, anti-semitic, sexist, homophobic TV personality from Kazakhstan, called "Borat", who is travelling around the USA and interviewing people.
Many of the people in the film seem to be unaware that Borat is actually a Jewish, British comedian and is only acting (you can see in the news media that some of them even tried to sue the film-makers for fooling them like this). This adds to the humour and poignancy of what those people say and do (showing their prejudices, and nuttiness, and so on) in the film.

This is the famous funny political documentary, made and hosted by Michael Moore.
"Bowling for Columbine" explores U.S. gun culture and related issues, such as the history of how the U.S.A. was founded, the history of U.S. imperialist wars, the high rate of violence in the U.S.A., and the many school shootings in the U.S.A. - in particular, the Colombine Highschool shooting. It won the 2003 Academy Award or Oscar for best documentary, and broke the record for bestselling documentary ever - until he eclipsed that record with his next documentary Farenheit 911.
I'm guessing that the film's title, "Bowling for Columbine", is a reference to "Gunning for Saddam".
By the way, the audience at the 2003 Academy Awards gave Michael Moore a standing ovation, but some event organisers near the microphones at the Academy Awards booed him, and that is what was broadcast during the Academy Awards and in capitalist news reports about the Academy Awards.
