CAIRO - 20 August 2017: One of Michael Moore's most famous documentaries: Farenheit 9/11 is an investigative journalistic documentary about the Bush administration's war on terrorism.
The two-hour long documentary begins by suggesting that allies and family members of George W. Bush at Fox News caused the famous early declaration of Bush the winner in the 2000 election. Moore points out that John Ellis, the one who was responsible for the decision desk at FOX News on the election night is in fact Bush’s cousin.
The film then takes us to the 9/11 attacks. And here it sheds light on the intertwined 30-year-old financial ties between the Bush family, the bin Laden family, and Taliban. According to Moore, these ties made the American government evacuate 24 bin Laden family members on secret private flights without any of them being interrogated, at a time when all airports were closed.
Moore debates that the Bush administration, through the media, abused the 9/11 attacks by spreading fear and paranoia among the American people. This helped Bush wage his wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which Moore argues happened instead of doing the correct investigations and finding the real criminals behind the attacks. He then goes deeply into how these wars were unnecessary; that they lead to killing thousands of innocent civilians, as well as brainwashed American soldiers.
This documentary created much controversy upon its release, and earned a number of awards, including Palme d'Or at Cannes International Film Festival.
Some people believe each and every word Moore said in this film, while others believe he is a conspiracy theory advocate. No matter which group you may join, this is a documentary you should not miss.
