Moore: Film will ruin Bush
'Anti-Bush' film up for grabs

Cannes, France - A documentary fiercely critical of US President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq, Fahrenheit 9/11, won the Cannes film festival's prestigious Palme d'Or on Saturday.

The movie, by US writer/director Michael Moore, was chosen from a field of 19 films by a jury led this year by Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino.
"What have you done? I'm completely overwhelmed by this. Merci," Moore said as he overcame long applause to accept the trophy.

He dedicated the award "to all the children in America, and in Iraq and around the world who have suffered from our actions".

It is the first time a documentary has won the top Cannes award.

Fahrenheit 9/11 spans the changes in the United States under Bush since the 2000 US elections, through the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, and the subsequent US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

It is savage to Bush, showing footage that portrays the US president as often out of his depth and keen to further his family's close ties to Saudi families grown rich from oil - including the relatives of Osama bin Laden.
