Was können die USA von anderen Ländern lernen? Michael Moore will es genau wissen und marschiert als Ein-Mann-Armee in Europa und Tunesien ein. Wo immer er seine US-Flagge in fremden Boden rammt, will er keine Territorien und Ölfelder erobern, sondern gute Ideen. Und zwar solche, mit denen Länder wie Deutschland, Frankreich und Italien gute Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen für ihre Bürger geschaffen haben. Egal ob faire Löhne oder gesundes Schulessen, kostenlose Bildung oder menschenwürdige Gefängnisse: Michael Moore klaut alles, was er kriegen kann. Denn Europa hat Lösungen für viele Probleme, an denen die amerikanische Gesellschaft seit Jahren krankt. Je länger Michael Moore staunend durch Europa reist, um so klarer wird ihm: Der amerikanische Traum lebt! Wenn auch nur außerhalb der USA.
