About this movie

Generating controversy and political debate like no other film in memory, Fahrenheit 9/11 is by turns a determinedly truthful, scathingly funny, intensely thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining movie from Academy Award-winner Michael Moore. Following the huge critical and popular success of his film Bowling for Columbine and books Stupid White Men and Dude, Wheres My Country?, Moore uses his characteristically deft humour and uniquely persistent style to launch an unflinching inquiry into the Bush governments foreign policy. Combining rare footage, expert testimony, and his one of-a-kind dogged hunt for answers to tough questions, Moore takes on the burning issues facing America today. His camera turns a sceptical lens on President George W.Bush and his inner circle, who ignored the Saudi connection to 9/11 and instead rushed headlong towards war on Iraq.
