This is a MUST SEE. It's especially a MUST GIVE to all those "sheep" that now make up about 95% of our voting population. It's so unfortunate that people vote on the most persuasive commercials--be they lies or not... This is a QUALITY DOCUMENTARY that exposes a corrupt group of people that we voted for, that offers a strong indication that 9/11 happened BECAUSE of the Bushes "sleeping with the enemy."... To all those who lie to make people hate the great journalist Michael Moore, tell the victims who have fallen for those lies that this documentary is fine research done by a BRITISH journalist, who might very well be showing us how the WORLD now views us. We are the bad guys for the first time in history, and this film makes us aware as to why and what we need to do with our fine upcoming administration to start to fix that! GET IT, AND GET IT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW!!!
Are we voters or victims? August 11, 2008 M. Grogan (DesPlaines, Illinois)
If you want a clue why other countries hate us, this is for you. As informative as it is depressing, we are reminded it is not who gets the votes-IT'S WHO COUNTS THE VOTES!

"Fahrenheit 9/11" for grownups September 21, 2007 lighten_up_already2 (Kirkland, WA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was rather skeptical when I dropped this DVD into the ol' player last night. I looked from the packaging like a trashy agitprop documentary, so I was surprised at the professionalism and the relatively calm, matter of fact way that the creators made their point. In particular, the detailed account of supposedly how black voters were kept from voting in Florida in the 2000 election. I had certainly heard these accusations before, but nothing concrete to back them up. Here, there is the accusation and concrete detail. That really gave me pause for thought. The only aspect of this documentary I thought was just plain stupid was the way the speech footage of president Bush giving speeches at the start of the Iraq war. It seemed distorted through some cheesy video effect to give is a surreal and untrue quality. Really, I can do without this kind of manipulation. Just stick to the facts the way to see them and make your case without putting me to sleep. That's all I ask from a political documentary. I can't verify whether or not any or all of what was shown was factual, but at least I was left with something to think about. I thought it was way better than the juvenile and manipulative Fahrenheit 9/11. Oh yeah, and it's mercifully short. At just about one hour this documentary makes it's points without wasting a lot of time, and that counts for something.
Is there a rating less than 1-Star? August 29, 2007 Frederick J. Miller Jr. (Wells, ME USA) 2 out of 15 found this review helpful
1-Hour DVD, subjective analysis editorializing one man's view of the Bush family and their political ties, real and imagined. This Oliver Stone- wannabe-ish production lacks the polish and panache of Stone or even of notorious far-left Bush-basher, Michael Moore, both in production quality and investigative content..assuming that one buys what Moore is also peddling. Extreme liberals will love this and accept it as fact, sensible people will disregard most of it and accept the rest as American politics as usual. Republicans will ignore it, as they likely should. Nothing new is exposed here, no new light shed on topics that are now long-in-the-tooth in the twilight of the Bush administration's tenure. Far too much over-intellectualizing of alleged Bush family influence-peddling and not enough serious discussion of the fact that every American presidential administration MUST use influence..whether through finance or favoritism...in its dealings with corrupt, non-democratic regimes around the world if they want to get anything done. Influence is THE international capital universally recognized and worth investing. And by the way, if you think that NO DEMOCRAT would do such a thing, I've got some coastal property in Louisiana that I can sell you real cheap too...!! Just go back ONE administration to The Clintons, for the textbook on influence peddling. No one gets out of DC unscathed. Bush is no different. Don't waste your money on this particular video production. Find something with a little objectivity.
