On balance though, it's not that different to the speculative documentary, Death of a President, which I saw at the 2007 NZ Film Festival. It wasn't so much an anti-Bush polemic - Bush is depicted as a victim rather than antagonist - as it was a wider commentary on civil liberties, racial profiling, tabloid journalism, and how authorities are desperate to be seen to be doing something regardless of the consequences.
Art is art, it doesn't have to have a reason, although tbh I'd like to see this (politically).
