Where to Invade Next

The 2015 documentary film directed and written by Michael Moore follows him as he embarks on a journey to various countries to explore and "steal" social and economic policies that he believes could benefit the United States. Visiting countries such as Italy, France, Finland, Tunisia, Slovenia, Germany, and Portugal, Moore examines various aspects of life: in Italy, he looks at generous paid vacations and work-life balance; in France, the school lunch program and sex education; in Finland, innovative educational approaches with minimal homework and testing; in Germany, attitudes toward labor and acknowledgment of historical mistakes; in Portugal, the decriminalization of drugs; in Tunisia, women's rights and access to healthcare; in Iceland, gender equality and the prosecution of banking executives following the financial crisis. The film raises the question of how the United States can learn from the experiences of other countries to improve its own social and economic policies. "Where to Invade Next" received generally positive reviews from critics, who noted Moore's humorous and provocative approach to serious topics.
