Documentary Review: Bush Family Fortunes


I picked this film with glee hoping to learn something about the president that I didn't already know. Alas, no revelations of any note. No new insight into how the family made its' fortunes and how W came to be in power.

The filmmaker tells us he could only make this documentary with the BBC because "American Media" kowtow to the corporations. Really? So that's why Michael Moore couldn't get his movies made?

Like a few other films about the George W. Bush presidency and family, it's almost bad enough to be a puff piece for the republicans. It's like, well if they really couldn't find that much, there must not be anything to write about. It's more a whine than intriguing evidence of corruption and graft.

Bandon has a copy of the DVD.
