Disney Forbidding Distribution of Film That Criticizes Bush By JIM RUTENBERG
Published: May 5, 2004
ASHINGTON, May 4 - The Walt Disney Company is blocking its Miramax division
from distributing a new documentary by Michael Moore that harshly criticizes
President Bush, executives at both Disney and Miramax said Tuesday. The
film, "Fahrenheit 911," links Mr. Bush and prominent Saudis - including the
family of Osama bin Laden - and criticizes Mr. Bush's actions before and
after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Disney, which bought Miramax more than
a decade ago, has a contractual agreement with the Miramax principals, Bob
and Harvey Weinstein, allowing it to prevent the company from distributing
films under certain circumstances, like an excessive budget or an NC-17
rating.
