After tackling the indifference of big business to its redundant workers in Roger and Me, gun control (or, rather, the lack of it) in Bowling for Columbine and the national and international consequences of 9/11 in Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore turns his polemical blunderbuss on the American health business in Sicko. None of these films can be described as even-handed documentary investigations. They're highly personal combinations of editorial cartooning, alarming statistics, anecdotal evidence of a powerful kind, lampooning use of newsreels and other film material, grandstanding stunts and knockabout humour, in the cause of benign propaganda.
