Movies like Sicko

While not a documentary, The Big Short is a dramatic retelling of the events leading up to the 2007-2008 financial crisis. The film's critical view of the financial industry's practices and its devastating impact on ordinary people aligns with the spirit of Sicko's critique of the American healthcare system.

Directed by Michael Moore, the same filmmaker behind Sicko, Bowling for Columbine is a deep dive into the American gun culture and the factors that led to the Columbine High School massacre. With Moore's signature blend of humor and hard-hitting documentary style, audiences who appreciated Sicko's examination of the healthcare system will find familiar ground here.

In Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore's scathing political documentary, the focus is on the presidency of George W. Bush and the War on Terror. Just like Sicko, this documentary aims to shake its audience, prompting them to question the status quo and the systems in place that govern American lives.

This environmental documentary presented by former Vice President Al Gore discusses the pressing issue of climate change. While tackling a different subject, An Inconvenient Truth shares Sicko's commitment to shedding light on systemic problems, armed with hard facts and a call to action.

The documentary Inside Job meticulously analyses the causes and consequences of the 2008 financial meltdown. Much like Sicko, it serves as an eye-opener and a piece of activist cinema meant to inform and inspire its viewers to think critically about the systems that govern their lives.

Michael Moore's debut documentary feature Roger & Me sets the tone for his career with its exploration of the economic impact of General Motors' factory closures in Flint, Michigan. Fans of Sicko will appreciate Moore's dogged determination to seek answers and hold powerful figures accountable.

Yet another provocative piece from Michael Moore, Capitalism: A Love Story takes a critical look at the economic disparity and the impact of corporate dominance in American society. Fans of Sicko's critical eye and Moore's relentless pursuit of truth will find this exploration of capitalism's dark side both compelling and informative.

Food, Inc. is a revealing look into America's food industry, raising questions about how we sustain ourselves and the cost of convenience. Its investigative spirit and exposition of an industry largely taken for granted by consumers make it resonate with the same energy found in Sicko.
