The World According to Bush
The World According to Bush (French: Le Monde Selon Bush) is a 2004 French documentary, co-written and directed by William Karel based on the book by Éric Laurent,[1] about the presidency of George W. Bush and the history of the Bush family, including his grandfather Prescott Bush, who was on the board of German-owned companies during the Nazi period. The film examines and interviews Bush supporters, including the Christian right, neo-conservatives, and businesspeople, as well as Bush critics and shows televised statements made by Bush and his supporters, including Jerry Falwell.
