Ray Bradbury (AP)
Ray Bradbury on "Fahrenheit 9/11"
Story aired: Tuesday, June 29, 2004



"Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore's film on the Bush administration, opened this weekend, and became the highest grossing documentary of all time. It beat all the entertainment films at the box office, despite being in fewer theaters.

There is of course, much controversy surrounding the movie. Including its title.

Author Ray Bradbury has been vocal about his disappointment that Moore borrowed from the title of Bradbury's 1953 "Fahrenheit 451," the prescient tale about book burning and mind control in a futuristic society.

Guests:


Ray Bradbury, author.
