UUB Brings Social Documentary Film to CampusSocial Activist/Filmmaker Michael Moore is at it again with his current Academy Award nominated documentary focusing on the U.S. health care system. Using interviews and high–profile historical examples, Moore makes a credible case for a mismanaged and ill-thought-out American health insurance system. He exposes big-business driven pharmaceutical companies, as well as the politicians who have been paid millions to support them in the political process. He showcases how, in his opinion, America can learn from the successes of other countries in providing higher quality, more easily accessible health care for all citizens. Admission is $2 for students, faculty & staff with ID and $3 for public. In Music: Alternative Rockers Invade Campus In Edutainment: Sex Signals Comedic Presentation
