Celsius 41.11

Celsius 41.11 is a 2004 political documentary film inspired by, and partially in response to Michael Moores film Fahrenheit 911. The title was chosen because, according to the makers of the movie, 41.11C is The Temperature at Which the Brain Begins to Die, which is the films tagline.

The production of Celsius 41.11 was funded by the conservative political organization Citizens United. The organizations president, David Bossie, was surprised at the success of Fahrenheit 911 both at the box office and in rallying support for the Democratic political position. After seeing Moores impact, I wanted to counterpunch, he said to the LA Times in 2004, adding that, Documentaries have become a weapon of the left. Celsius 41.11 took six weeks to make and includes a song, John Boy, specially written and performed by the country music singer Larry Gatlin.Celsius 41.11 was rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America because it contains a graphic image of an Iraqi torture victim and includes swearing on two occasions. The films producers disagreed with the rating, stating that it wasnt consistent with other films in theaters. They choose to appeal the rating but were ultimately unsuccessful. ........
