Fahrenheit 9/11

One of the most controversial & provocative films of the year, Fahrenheit 9/11 is Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's searing examination of the Bush administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11. With his characteristic humor & dogged commitment to uncovering the facts, Moore considers the presidency of George W. Bush and where it has led us. He looks at how & why Bush & his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saudi connection to 9/11, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis & Saudi money had funded Al Qaeda. Fahrenheit 9/11 shows us a nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts & lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that infringes on basic civil rights. It's in this atmosphere of confusion, suspicion & dread that the Bush Administration makes its headlong rush towards war in Iraq & Fahrenheit 9/11 takes us inside that war to tell the stories we haven't heard, illustrating the awful human cost to US soldiers & their families.
