- Synopsis
- "I feel a burning need to respond to what the United States is up to as it uses the events of September 11th to complete it's domination over the world. I believe no one else will make the film that needs to be made right now. "Fahrenheit 9/11" will be an epic, a film that dares to say what no one else will say on celluloid. I am at a point where, if I don't make such a film, I might as well go and stick my head in the sand with everyone else." - Michael Moore
  Academy Award-winning filmmaker of "Bowling For Columbine", best-selling author of "Stupid White Men" and "Dude, Where's My Country?", uncompromising campaigner and provocateur Michael Moore continues his probing of American culture with this new documentary.
  One of the most controversial and provocative films of the year, "Fahrenheit 9/11" is Michael Moore's searing examination of the Bush administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11. With his characteristic humour and dogged commitment to uncovering the facts, Moore considers the presidency of George W. Bush and where it has led us. He looks at how - and why - Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saudi connection to 9/11, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and Saudi money had funded Al Qaeda.
  "Fahrenheit 9/11" shows us a nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts and lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that infringes on basic civil rights. It is in this atmosphere of confusion, suspicion and dread that the Bush Administration makes its headlong rush towards war in Iraq - and "Fahrenheit 9/11" takes us inside that war to tell the stories we haven't heard, illustrating the awful human cost to U.S. soldiers and their families.
