Abstract
Wiseman, Malle and Moore use the documentary genre to question tenets of the predominant American ideology, intercepting, capturing and halting its mechanisms by highlighting scenes of subversion in the context of various American institutions. Each film discussed here – High School (1968), God’s Country (1986) and Bowling for Columbine (2002) – focuses on concepts of American manufacturing and production to reveal the dangers and weaknesses of the ruling rhetoric, exposes the ‘truth’ behind the myths and provides counter-ideological alternatives to replace the myths that each film upends.
