Michael Moore - New Bush Documentary Planned
DISNEY, via subsidiary MIRAMAX, has agreed to cover the production costs, said to be in the millions, of Moore's planned FAHRENHEIT 911.
"The primary thrust of the new film is what has happened to the country since Sept. 11, and how the Bush administration used this tragic event to push its agenda," Moore explains.

The director claims he will document on film how the "senior Bush kept his ties with the bin Laden family up until two months after Sept. 11."
Moore will also scrutinize, in graphic detail, why America is so disliked abroad.
With DISNEY financing now secure, Moore, who once railed against corporate media interests, may appear at this week's Cannes film festival in France.
