If 2004 is the year of the documentary, Michael Moore's Palme d'Or-winning Fahrenheit 9/11 is undoubtedly doc of the year. A two-hour demolition of the Bush administration's failings - from the electoral chaos of 2000, to the handling of 9/11, bombing of Afghanistan, and invasion of Iraq - it's a bloated, biased, and utterly brilliant piece of political filmmaking. It's also the film the powers-that-be didn't want you to see - an incendiary, raging epic that will do more to scupper George Bush's re-election hopes than anything the Democrats could dream up.
