Bush Family Fortunes - BBC Documentary

Bush Family Fortunes - BBC Documentary - Available for Download Today

Starting today—by making a small donation to our not-for-profit Investigative Journalism Fund—you can download Greg Palast's classic BBC Television documentary, Bush Family Fortunes.

The BBC broadcast that first exposed how Boy Bush got into the Texas Air Guard and out of Vietnam through a fix from Daddy Bush. We busted the story and got it right—including the $23 million pay-out that Dan Rather missed.

"Great fun," says the New Yorker. So much fun that it still hurts—from Iraq to Detroit.

Watch Palast chase down Katherine Harris' ballot-box bender - and Palast then marched out of her office in the custody of Florida State Troopers. The crime: committing acts of journalism.

The Balitmore Chronicle said, "No one has exposed more truth about the Bush Cartel and lived to tell the story."

On the Bush money trail, Palast discovers the spike of the pre-2001 FBI investigation of the bin Ladens ... then shows you the secret oil company plans for the oil fields of Iraq.

Join "America's best investigative reporter - and the funniest" (Air America) as he hunts down the icons and idiots of the Bush regime before they were even known—from Karl Rove, to General Jay Garner ... even an Enron party film.

Bush Family Fortunes weaves together the original reporting behind Fahrenheit 9-11, the BBC report that Michael Moore called, "courageous."

This is your opportunity to be courageous by making a commitment to support original investigative reporting today.

Download the film here.

Or order a copy of the DVD disc signed by Greg Palast here.

Music by Moby.

While the Bush regime has been banished, the need for investigative reporting remains as important as ever. Your support allows us to continue the hunt and to hold those in power accountable.

We've just returned from the other side of the planet and are in the midst of uncovering ... well, why spoil it? The hot documents marked "confidential" are leaking from the bankers' lairs and we are back on the hunt thanks to your generous donations.

Make a tax-deductible contribution and received your choice of books or films, signed by Greg Palast, as our thanks.

100% of your donation goes toward covering the costs of our research team, our cameras, and our concealed microphones. Your commitment keeps us digging, digging, and digging.

Greg Palst is donating all proceeds of the sale of the film, Bush Family Fortunes, expanded from the BBC broadcast, to the Palast Investigative Fund, a not-for-profit foundation supporting investigative reporting. 100% of your donations for the film disc or download go to the fund and are tax-deductible.
