In his Oscar-winning documentary “Bowling for Columbine” (2002), Michael Moore confronts Charlton Heston and Kmart executives, Michigan militiamen and the producer of “Cops,” but his quixotic search is for the structure itself, the undercarriage of American violence. Though his starting point is the 1999 massacre at Colorado’s Columbine High School, in which two students murdered one teacher, 12 classmates, and injured 21 others, Moore spins a dense web of historical connections and geopolitical comparisons: A montage of American imperialism from the overthrow of Mohammed Mossedegh to the rise of Osama bin Laden, set to “What a Wonderful World”; interviews with ordinary Canadians baffled by the American obsession with crime. “Bowling for Columbine” is, in short, the filmmaker’s most chilling and prescient polemic, framing the United States’ gun epidemic as the logical consequence of our “culture of fear,” and its concomitant economy of terror.

Greenwald (above middle) sat for a discussion about guns and violence on Thursday, part of TheWrap’s GrillChat series, and the Emmy nominee touched on the challenges of his latest film “Making a Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA.” “We took some steps to be careful,” Greenwald said. “The only way to avoid any danger was not to do the film. You’re dealing with people who have access to weapons.

Gun control has become a fevered topic since the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub in mid-June. To help parse the debate, and discuss what it means inside outside of Hollywood, TheWrap’s CEO and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Waxman invited two experts to sit for a GrillChat — an offshoot of TheWrap’s annual thought leadership conference TheGrill. Documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald (“Koch Brothers Exposed” and “Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price”) will speak about his latest film “Making A Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA,” which aims to expose the powerful gun lobby’s hold on politicians.
