Abstract

September 11 terrorist attack provoked, among other consequences, the agitation of the US movie industry and the development of a position against Bush administration and their decisions. Hollywood liberal groups activities have gone together in the last years with several movies opposing governmental positions: el denunciation documentaries, political fictions and the approach of war movies showing Irak war are the best representation of that ideological line.
