Facing the question of "how soon is too soon," incendiary documentary filmmaker Michael Moore was the first out of the gate with 2004's Fahrenheit 9/11, exploring the myriad events that led up to that indelible fall day and the subsequent war in Iraq, drawing a direct link between President George Bush and Osama bin Laden's family using oil interests as the connective pipeline. The film touched off a major debate about the authenticity of some of its claims, yet earned approximately $220 million worldwide, an unprecedented amount for a documentary.
