FAHRENHEIT 9/11

Wednesday September 5, 2007 at 7:30pm on CBC-TV & Sunday September 9, 2007 at 9:30pm ET/PT on CBC Newsworld


Fahrenheit 9/11, like Moore's Bowling For Columbine and Roger & Me, promises to expose the corporate wrongdoings and big-money scandals perpetrated by America's financial elite. This movie, however, looks beyond the inner echelons of General Motors and Lockheed Martin in hopes of outing the evildoers in the White House, particularly George W. Bush.

In addition to criticizing the administration's handling of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, Moore digs deep into the surprising relationship with the Bin Laden family held by both Bush administrations, and questions whether or not potential Saudi involvement with the attacks has been ignored.

Fahrenheit 9/11's debut at the Cannes Film Festival marked only the second time in 48 years that a documentary has been included among the festival's main competition.
