The TVI Take
2004 Palme d'Or winner. Michael Moore's incendiary documentary examining the Bush administration's response to 9/11 and the Iraq War.
Moderate cognitive demands from the polemical structure. Exceptional educational value from the political documentation, though Moore's editorial choices are deliberately provocative. The highest-grossing documentary ever made at the time.
