HAVANA, July 29 (AFP) - American filmmaker Michael Moore's Bush-bashing "Fahrenheit 9/11" will play on Cuban public television Thursday, upping the temperature of Havana's feverish media offensive against President George W. Bush and his policies.
The film is already being screened to great critical acclaim in 120 movie theaters across the island, but television will bring it directly to Cuban living rooms.
In his latest salvo against his northern neighbor, President Fidel Castro dedicated an hour and a half of a speech Monday to Bush's past alcohol consumption and his "hot-headed, fundamentalist mind."
"Fahrenheit 9/11" will be broadcast at prime time, in place of the daily "Round Table" program dedicated to themes considered a priority by Cuban authorities.
The documentary has made history by earning more than 100 million box office dollars in Canada and the United States.
