What It's About:

Burly, disheveled provocateur Michael Moore sets out to expose the lies and hypocrisy of the Bush Administration in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, as well as the hubristic missteps that have shamed America in the eyes of the world. He examines the rush to war, elucidates the surprising connections between the Bush and Bin Laden families, and ponders whether the White House deliberately ignored the Saudi royal family's close ties to terrorism.

Why I Love It:

Armed with loads of footage and an arsenal of documented facts to substantiate his claims, Moore here flambées George W. Bush, charging his administration with corporate crime, warmongering, and oil-wellian subterfuge. Moore is never less than provocative, and his cheeky indignance seems rightfully placed here rather than overblown, especially when you glimpse Bush walking hand in hand with a Saudi prince or listen to a tearful soldier's bereaved mother vent her anger. A clever and devastating slap in the face to the arrogance of power.
