U.S. director Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit
9/11" was shown on prime time Cuban state-run television on
Thursday after playing to packed cinemas for a week. In a country
with a deep-seated distrust of U.S. governments, the film has
generated widespread public interest and added to a recent
barrage of official criticism of President Bush. Cubans have
stood in long lines to buy tickets to see rough DVD copies
projected at 120 cinema theaters across the island to unfailing
applause. "We hope this film will lead Americans to see the
reality of their government, and not only deny Bush reelection
but put him on trial for the harm he has done to humanity,"
said retired worker Armando Rodriguez. [more]
