'Fahrenheit 9/11' stuck with censors

'Fahrenheit 9/11' stuck with censors: "'Fahrenheit 9/11', a documentary film on US President George W Bush in the wake of the tragic events of September 11, is still awaiting clearance by the Censor Board in India.
The film by Oscar-winning film maker Michael Moore looks into the reasons why Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saudi connection to the September 11 tragedy that rocked the United States.
'We were planning to release the film on October 15 in India and had sent the movie to the Censor Board, however, we were orally informed that the film has been referred to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, ' a Paramount Films spokesman, which is handling the release of the film in India, said.
'They have not so far stated the exact reasons or objections to the film, hence, we are still waiting for communication from the ministry', he said. However, according to the regional officer of the Censor Board, Y N Engineer, 'The film has not been sent for referral to the ministry but has been kept aside for review again by a revising committee.'
'The film is controversial in nature and hence we want it to be reviewed again. We are just being very cautious about it', he said."
