Fahrenheit 9/11
Fahrenheit 9/11 is a 2004 documentary that focuses on the presidency of George W Bush, as well as the war on terror and how it is conveyed in the media. The film suggests that Bush and his administration are not working with the interests of the American people at heart, as well as picking apart the war in Iraq, and whether the US has done any good there. The documentary film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival, as well as being rated the highest grossing documentary of all time. The film grossed over $200 million worldwide, including $120 million in US box office revenue. After it's release, the documentary gained a large amount of controversy, as well as disputes over accuracy. However, Moore has since released a list of all his sources and facts that were used in the film.
