Sicko, a 2007 documentary film by American filmmaker Michael Moore that investigates the American health care system, focusing on its for-profit health insurance and pharmaceutical industry, arrives on DVD November 6th.

The film, which premiered with mixed reception, tackles the healthcare issue of industrialiZed countries. This film is informative yet inconceivable, entertaining yet disturbing and saddening yet inspiring. Sicko sheds light on a sickening issue.  With almost 50 million Americans uninsured and those who are insured, often victims of unfair restrictions for care, Moore takes a gentler, bi-partisan approach to inform, inspire and touch the hearts of his audience to call for a systematic change of action.

With heart-wrenching and empathy-provoking testimonies from both patients and former insurance company employees, Sicko depicts the frustrations and difficulties of the inability to obtain treatment and life-saving care when desperately needed due to the inevitabilities of a for-profit healthcare system.

The Sicko DVD features over 80 minutes of all-new material including seven new segments, as well as eye-opening interviews, and more.
