The beginning of history

Fahrenheit 9/11 has touched millions of viewers across the world. But
could it actually change the course of civilisation?

Fahrenheit 9/11 is astounding. Not so much as a film - although it is
cunning and moving - but as an event. Most commentators try to dismiss
the event and disparage the film. We will see why later.
The artists on the Cannes film festival jury apparently voted
unanimously to award Michael Moore's film the Palme d'Or. Since then
it has touched many millions across the world. In the US, its
box-office takings for the first six weeks amounted to more than
$100m, which is, astoundingly, about half of what Harry Potter made
during a comparable period. Only the so-called opinion-makers in the
media appear to have been put out by it.
