"Fahrenheit 9/11 took public domain information that should have been on the news every night and put it in a film that a lot of people went to see. But still Bush has never had to answer those charges"

- John Sayles

About this Quote

This quote by John Sayles is referring to the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, which was launched in 2004. The film was routed by Michael Moore as well as focused on the presidency of George W. Bush as well as the War on Terror. Sayles is suggesting that the movie had the ability to take public domain information that must have been reported on the news every night and also present it in a way that was accessible to a broad target market. Despite the movie's success, Bush has never ever had to answer the costs made versus him in the film. This recommends that the general public domain name info presented in the film was not taken seriously by the federal government, which Bush was not held responsible for his activities. This quote highlights the power of movie to bring attention to vital concerns, and the demand for responsibility in federal government.
