First published 2005
When filmmaker Michael Moore sets his sights on the Bush administration's actions before and after 9/11, the result is a controversial documentary that rocks the nation. Fahrenheit 9/11 digs into the murky connections between the Bushes and the Saudis, the rushed declaration of war in Iraq, and the devastating human toll of the conflict. With damning footage and incisive interviews, Moore lays bare the lies, greed, and callousness that drove the country into an unjust war. At its heart, this is the story of everyday Americans struggling to make sense of a betrayal by their own government.
