Social media users are revisiting Michael Moore's 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine, in which Charlton Heston, then president of the NRA, was portrayed as racially insensitive. The film famously confronted Heston over gun rallies held after deadly shootings, and questioned his rhetoric. Critics have long debated whether the film's portrayal was fair or an unfair smear of the late actor and gun-rights advocate.
