Filmmaker Michael Moore is being sued for $85 million by an American war veteran. Sergeant Peter Damon of the Massachusetts National Guard is furious with the controversial director over the film Fahrenheit 9/11. According to the man, who lost both arms in the war in Iraq, the film caused, "a loss of reputation, emotional distress, embarrassment, and personal humiliation." In the film, clips were used of Damon being interviewed by NBC's Nightly News. Damon contends that Moore never asked for his permission to use the clips, and feels that Moore edited the clips to make it appear as though Damon was against the war. Damon's lawyer said, "It's upsetting to him because he's lived his life supportive of his government, he's been a patriot, he's been a soldier, and he's now being portrayed in a movie that is the antithesis of all of that." Fahrenheit 9/11 was released in 2004, and became the most popular documentary film of all time, earning more than $220 million around the world. |
