The Big One is a movie directed in 1996 (and released in 1997) by Michael Moore during his promotion tour around the United States for his book Downsize This!. Through the 47 visited towns, Moore discovers and describes American economic failings and the fear of unemployment of the American workers. Although much of the film is Moore chasing CEO's and corporate heads, he is eventually able to talk with Nike head Phil Knight on his company's labor practices. It also takes stabs at President Bill Clinton, and the three other major Presidential candidates of the 1996 election, although it is in large part directed at Clinton's 'betrayal' of progressive economic ideals.
