I thought they were showing this film in small "select" theaters in the country.. So it was banned in the US?

Not banned - just chosen not to be shown/distributed.

The only reason you would want to see the show is to see Bush die.

The story could have been just as effective without the visuals.

This movie is a very poor attempt at public opinion manipulation.

There is a reason you don't show sitting heads of states in "dead" poses. This movie crosses the line.

Well, I haven't seen a single minute of this film, so I don't know in which style it's filmed. Is it footage, then a host talking about that footage in the context of what would happen? Or is it just x minutes straight through?

Not interested. It is a hypothetical story of "the current world and its emotions and events".

Sadly the story will be like the Da Vinci code, people will see it, believe and then start to assume its all true

Yes, making this kind of movie is probably a step over the line cause there are some idiots in the world that can want to make it happen.

I have seen enough clips on the news to realise what the story is supposed to be, and simply put, I don't need to watch yet another "what if" movie made by some yahoo at this stage - it is as pointless as another JFK conspiracy movie.

There was just no reason to put a istting head of state in the gun sights.

Agree with that.

Any kind of movie can make you think different if the ones who make it want it to. I wanted to make up my mind about this one seeing it.

Its IMO a message "movie" more for Bush and not so much for viewers, at least thats what I saw in it.

If we arent 'allowed' to watch people jumping from the WTC, read about how OJ might have killed his ex wife, and ron goldman, then why should we be allowed to watch this uncreative docudrama?

its so incredibly obtuse...

thankfully, there are also legitimate docudrama people.... based on facts; and attempted smear by the Clinton administration; yet unwaivered, and based largely on those involved, and the 911 commission report.

free to watch! how cool is that? Thankyou ABC!

That is fixed now, so you should be able to move threads that are not appropriate for this forum

Well, maybe, but censorship of the media is never a good thing. However, in the same vein, the media network is free to show/distribute what it wants, and we are free to watch it or not.
