Local theaters censoring 'Fahrenheit 9/11'

Two theater chains (GCK Theaters in Michigan and Illinois and Fridley Theaters in Iowa and Nebraska) have REFUSED to show "Fahrenheit 9/11." GKC Theaters claims they made the decision to show "undivided support" for the troops, a particularly odd claim in light of the fact that the entire point of the film is about supporting the troops. Worse, the president of Fridley Theaters is making the ludicrous claim that the movie somehow incites terrorism. At the end, these decisions simply amount to partisan censorship.

You can read about GCK's decision not to show the film here.

And you can read about the Fridley chain's decision here.

If you live in a city with either of these chains (check this list of GCK theater locations), you really ought to take a moment to call them and demand that they not censor "Fahrenheit 9/11." There is always the chance that they are NOT Bush suuporters but are merely rallying, however misguidedly, behind the troops.

You can also call the GKC Theaters central office:
