Fahrenheit 9/11
I know this is not the correct thread to discuss about a English movie but i would like get to know how the Indian audience appreciate this documentary film about the American President George Bush and September 11 attack.
The director 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.
Please share with us whether you enjoyed the Fahrenheit 9/11 and what you think about George Bush?
