Which 2002 documentary by Michael Moore won the Academy Award?

The 2002 Michael Moore documentary that won the Academy Award was Bowling for Columbine. The film examines gun violence in the United States, using the 1999 Columbine High School massacre as a starting point for a broader discussion of fear, media, history, and American gun culture.

Moore wrote, produced, directed, and narrated the documentary. Its title refers to the bowling class attended by the two Columbine attackers on the morning of the massacre, a detail the film uses to connect an ordinary American activity with the tragedy’s wider context.

Bowling for Columbine won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 75th Academy Awards in 2003, honoring films released during 2002. Moore’s acceptance speech also became part of the awards’ political history because he criticized President George W. Bush and the Iraq War.

The other options are documentaries or Michael Moore films, but they do not fit all the clues. Roger & Me was Moore’s 1989 debut, Fahrenheit 9/11 came later in 2004, and Super Size Me was directed by Morgan Spurlock.
