Farhenheit 9/11 is my choice of documentary video. Created by Michael Moore the film looks to expose the truths and conspiracies surrounding 9/11, heavily criticising the American security system, false values and patriotism and of course the stupidity of George W. Bush. Candid interviews with politicians, archived film footage and a running commentary from Moore himself juxtaposes the sombre subject matter, and forces smiles and laughs throughout. For me the film takes on the challenging task of choosing a sobering medium and places it into a new context through use humour, becoming informative and entertaining.
