“Roger And Me” now part of French educational curriculum
From Michael Moore’s latest mailing…
The day began yesterday with “Bowling for Columbine” winning “Best Film” from a vote of hundreds of French teachers and students from arond the country who each year come to Cannes and award one movie their “Cannes Prix Educational National.” It’s the only “people’s prize” at Cannes where everyday citizens get to screen the films and vote. It was a wonderful moment and a great honor to receive this award. The Education Ministry in France has made “Roger & Me” part of the French national curriculum and it is shown each year in every school in France. The same will now happen with “Bowling for Columbine.”
