FAHRENHEIT 9/11 directed by Michael MOORE

Two years after his Cannes 55th Anniversary Prix for Bowling For Columbine, Michael Moore is back on the Croisette with Fahrenheit 9/11, screening in competition. The documentary opens with the contested presidential election in the year 2000, and moves on to 9/11 exposing relations between the Bush and the Bin Laden families, how the American leaders have instilled an overriding climate of false fear, the witch hunt spirit of the Patriot Act, the armed forces in Afghanistan and the unjustified? war in Iraq.

Intercut with footage never seen before, with comments from experts and from those who are the backbone of America, Michael Moore presents his latest investigation into the rise of the failed Texas oilman to leader of the free world. Only Michael Moore could find the full irony in such somber terrain, by turns determinedly truthful, scathingly humorous, intensely thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining.


''Fahrenheit 911'' is Michael Moore's reflections on the current state of America, including the powerful role oil and greed may have played after the 9-11 attacks.
In this provocative work Moore tells the one story no one has dared to
tell as he reveals the events that led the US into that apocalyptic September
11th moment and why the country is now at war.
