In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore travels to various nations to explore, enlighten, and learn these ideas that America is missing. Michael journeys to Italy, France, Finland, Slovenia, Germany, Portugal, Norway, Tunisia, Iceland and Berlin. He invades these nations by taking an idea they have that would benefit America. His first trip was to Italy. Italy had many benefits for work by getting paid for days you don't work for, months paid each year, paid maternity leave, two our lunch breaks, and more benefits that Americans aren't comparable. This idea of labor work and salary benefits decrease the stress level of workers, which leads to Italians having a four year longer life expectancy than Americans. Michael invaded Italy and took their labor industry benefits. Next stop was France. France school cafeteria had chefs, four course meals, and educate the kids on sex but turns it into positive teaching. Frances taxes show what is actually being taxed for and French people get more benefits and outcome from their taxes. Finland was next on Michael's list. Finland has one of the highest educations. They don't receive homework and have the shortest school days and years. They teach what it's like to enjoy school and what happiness should be like in and outside of school. It's illegal to charge students for school tuition. The main idea that Michael took away was that all schools are equal. Slovenia had no college debt, it was free to go to college. Students protested when Slovenia tried to have tuition for students, but it didn't work out. It shows the political nature of having an education thats free. Next journey was to Germany. Germany also had free college. When workers were stressed, they could receive a free three week spa vacation from a doctor allowing them. Workers who worked 36 hours but got paid for 40 hours were all of the middle class. Factories had windows to show sunlight and keep positive feels in the workplace. When on vacation, the bosses are blocked from any contact with employees. Portugal had May Day for celebration of the workers. Portugal officers are not allowed to arrest for drugs. They provided a health care system that had treatment for drug addictions. It is not considered a crime. Prisoners have the right to vote first. They believe human dignity is above all and there should never be a death penalty. Norway prisons were open to having freedom. It has the lowest arrest and inmates are rewarded for their actions towards getting better. They have the freedom of having their own bed, key to room, working, painting, singing, own showers, library, pantries. The longest time an inmate can be in jail is for 21 years. Next stop was Tunisia. They have free government funding for health clinics for woman. Free abortions are provided. Women fought for their rights and received them. Last stop was Iceland. Iceland arrested the bankers when the economy would collapse. Each Nation provided an idea America needs, its possible to acquire but it needs to happen. Instead of invading, change and positivity is needed to have happiness and benefits in our country like we fought for.
