Anti-War Documentary Finds Distributor

After Warner Bros. rejected filmmaker David O. Russell's intentions to include his anti-war documentary in the DVD release of "Three Kings," Russell has finally found a distributor, Cinema Libre Studio to release his film, "Soldiers Pay." Along with Russell's documentary, will be another documentary called "Uncovered: The War in Iraq." The movies should have been released in theaters today in San Francisco. The reason Warner Bros. rejected Russell's intentions to include his anti-war documentary with "Three Kings," had to deal with the same reason why Walt Disney Co. refused to distribute Micheal Moore's film, "Fahrenheit 9/11." If either company had distributed these films, there company would have been promoting a documentary that would raise political sensitivity in society. If Disney distributed "Fahrenheit 9/11," it would be like they agreed with what Micheal Moore had said in his film. There are stock holders who did not agree with what Moore had documented, so if Disney had agreed to distribute, their business may be more inclined to drop. I am very proud of Cinema Libre Studio, because they are not as interested in making money, but more interested in giving Russell a chance to express his views through the lens of a camera.
