Fahrenheit 9/11
From Jurgen Fauth

Anti-American Propaganda or Must-See Documentary?
Guide Rating -
The hype surrounding Michael Moore's scathing analysis of the Bush Administration has been impossible to ignore. The Golden Palm at Cannes, the quarrel over the film's distribution, and the contested "R" rating have assured that his first film since the Oscar-winning "Bowling for Columbine" has stayed in the news. Already, attempts are underway to block screenings and discredit the movie. Who to believe? Is "Fahrenheit 9/11" overblown anti-American propaganda, or a must-see documentary?
Whenever I see attacks on the film or its director, I ask myself: Is this convincing criticism of the film's facts and arguments, or attempts at censorship and character-assassination? Yes, it is true that Michael Moore is overweight and has an in-your-face style that many find problematic. But so far, none of the condemnation heaped on "Fahrenheit 9/11" counters Moore's overwhelming evidence that America is headed in the wrong direction. The kicking and screaming suggests a healthy measure of fear, which is as it should be: considered on the merit of its facts alone, "Fahrenheit 9/11" is hard to dismiss.

In my opinion all that film did was to breed more conspiracy theories about what happened on 9-11. I found it to be very disturbing.
