Anti-Bush tirade wins Cannes award By Joelle Diderich and Paul Majendie
CANNES, France (Reuters) - U.S. director Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' a savage indictment of President George W. Bush's handling of Iraq and the war on terror, has won the top award at the Cannes film festival.
'I have this great hope that things are going to change,' said Moore on Saturday after tearing into Bush with his emotion-charged documentary in the run-up to November's presidential election.
The Oscar-winning director, overwhelmed by the standing ovation given to his Palme d'Or best film award, said: 'I want to make sure if I do nothing else for this year that those who have died in Iraq have not died in vain.'
