Fahrenheit 9/11 is an award-winning film by American filmmaker Michael Moore which presents a critical look at the presidency of George W। Bush, the War on Terrorism, and its coverage in the American news media. The film holds the record for highest box office receipts by a general release political film. In the film, Moore contends that American corporate media were "cheerleaders" for the 2003 invasion of Iraq and did not provide an accurate and objective analysis of the rationale for the war or the resulting casualties there. The film's attack on the Bush administration generated much controversy around the time of the film's release, including disputes over its accuracy. In response, Moore published an extensive list of facts and sources for the film on his website. The film debuted at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival in the documentary film category and was awarded the Palme d'Or (Golden Palm), the festival's highest award. The film had a general release in the United States and Canada on June 23, 2004. It has since been released in 42 more countries. As of January 2005[update], the film had grossed nearly $120 million in U.S. box office and over $220 million worldwide, an unprecedented amount for a political film. Sony reported first-day DVD sales of two million copies, again a new record for the genre. The title of the film alludes to Ray Bradbury's 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451, a Dystopia dystopian view of the future United_States United States, substituting the supposed autoignition temperature of paper with the date of the September_11,_2001_attacks September 11, 2001 attacks.
