Fahrenheit 9/11 DVD

Controversy... What Controversy?

Academy-Award winning documentary. Acting as narrator, but on screen less than usual, Moore looks at Bush's family ties with the Saudis. He questions how just after September 11 24 members of the Bin Laden family were allowed to leave the US with White House approval. Moore examines his country's war with Iraq and its consequences, making observations that are both scathing and revealing. Along with the sardonic and often humorous approach that we have come to expect from the movie maker (his efforts to persuade certain Congressmen to enlist their own kids for the war, for example) there are disturbing images associated with the war and moving ones such as his interview with a woman who reads the last letter from her son who died in Iraq.
